Andersson House Residency

Visiting architects and scholars have benefitted from residencies in the Andersson House. Residencies can last from a single weekend to a year or more.

The current resident is Coleman Coker. Coker (born 1951 in Memphis , TN ) is an American architect and artist best known for the Bridges Center (2005), the Patterson Clinic (2004),Texas Twister at Rey Rosa Ranch (2003), the Shiloh Falls Residence (1997), the Barton Residence (1992) and the Cook House (1991).

Coker founded buildingstudio in 1999 after a thirteen year partnership with Samuel Mockbee as Mockbee/Coker Architects. In 1995 their work was collected in, Mockbee/Coker, Thought and Process. With the formation of buildingstudio Coker sought to blur the boundaries between art, architecture, craft and thinking. His work puts a strong emphasis on the phenomenological quality of presence and being in the world through the things we make as one small part of that interconnected whole.
