This is the James Evans house of 1961 in #New_Canaan, Connecticut. This is a rough walk-through showing the layout of the house in January 2016 for a group of unknown architects who are working on re-creating his plans.

I will try to post on YouTube my Evans House video featuring James Evans talking about the house in his own words to those architects.

The Evans House, 1961, is an important midcentury modern architectural masterpiece designed by #James_Evans as his own home, including in the 1961 #Modern_House_Tour. Using a thin-shell structural system, Evans designed his soaring, square, one-story (plus basement) house with a hyperbolic paraboloid roof, allowing a nearly completely open plan as few inner-load carrying supports are necessary. Featuring floor-to-ceiling glazing, his intent to mesh indoor and outdoor living spaces is further emphasized through the living/dining room's six sliding glass doors. There have been very minor alterations to the house. The wrap-around deck was originally designed with a wrap-around bench rather than a railing.

The airy effect of the house is especially pronounced since the ceiling height is nearly two stories tall at its highest points. The roof projects beyond the plane of the walls, protecting the window walls from weathering. The house, which has a square footprint, is built into a gently sloping site. The primary entrance and living/dining room, kitchen, and master suite are located on the first floor and four additional bedrooms, two baths, and laundry room are located on the fully exposed lower level at the back of the house.

The New Canaan Advertiser wrote in 1961: "The form of the house is influenced by a design naturally complimentary to the hillside itself and that picks up the slope of the land gently to make use of it for habitation - the house opens out to the view as well as the hillside, allowing the sky to enter and yet gives a feeling of shelter and containment on its low sides with unencumbered space on the upper levels”.
