Cabin(s) in the Woods















Latest PUZZELLO LLC project is a house for a middle-aged couple sited on 2.5 acres in the Broad Ripple village in Indianapolis. A short walk to many services and neighborhoods, the site achieves a splendid balance of urban connection and rural seclusion. The site contains an existing historic small house simply clad in random ashlar limestone. The site is bounded by a paved walking trail to the west, a busy thoroughfare to the east, and a river to the north. A floodway created by a long ravine sits next to where the house is sited. Filled with mature trees, the west side of the site is a magnificent natural setting and focus from the house.

The house proposal consists of creating three disparate structures formally, each containing separate functions programatically.
