About This Project

The Fisher House, a striking example of modern architecture in Shadyside, Pittsburgh, exemplifies the seamless integration of innovative design and sustainable living. Designed by architect Eric Fisher AIA, LEED AP, this residence not only serves as a home but also as a catalyst for community engagement. Set thoughtfully back from the rear property line, the house fosters a shared green urban court that invites interaction among neighbors, enhancing the neighborhood’s charm and livability. The architectural composition features a striking façade of patinated copper walls complemented by a double-walled polycarbonate panel system that hovers elegantly above a robust block base. This unique design choice not only defines the interior spaces but also allows for an interplay of light and shadow, enriching the aesthetic experience while maintaining a sense of quietude in its surroundings. The Fisher House eschews conventional architectural norms, opting instead for a sophisticated approach that blends with its environment, presenting an inviting yet understated presence. Inside, the removal of interior walls opens up the living spaces to an abundance of natural light, resulting in an airy atmosphere that feels expansive and warm. Daylight floods the interiors, creating inviting areas for relaxation and socialization. The master bedroom, a serene retreat, offers captivating views of Pittsburgh’s first residential “green” roof garden, which bursts into bloom from March through November, showcasing a vibrant tapestry of colors and textures that change with the seasons. Crafted with a focus on sustainability, the home employs earth-sheltered construction techniques that minimize environmental impact while maximizing energy efficiency. Mr. Fisher's commitment to green design is evident throughout the project, ensuring that The Fisher House is not only a beautiful residence but also a responsible one. This project stands as a testament to the harmonious balance between innovative design, craftsmanship, and ecological mindfulness, making it an exemplary model for future residential developments.
