“When the landscape becomes part of the interior architecture.”
One of my favorite details inside the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library is the rammed earth walls. Made using local soil, sand, and gravel, they bring the colors and textures of the Badlands right into the building, connecting the building’s material palette to the geology of the surrounding landscape.
I love how the floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outdoors in and combined with the warmth of the wood and the curves of the walls, it creates a really unique space.
Here’s a closer look at some of the interior details.
