Summary

2016 Charles E. Peterson Prize, Third Place
Significance: Deepwood House is a significant example of modern academic residential design as practiced in the Ozark region during the post-World War II period. Deepwood House was designed as a residence for his family by Herbert K. Fowler, an early member of the University of Arkansas' architecture program faculty; it was completed and subsequently occupied by December 1960. Primarily utilizing wood, stone, and glass construction materials, the house design combined the clean functionality of the International Style with the understanding of site and materials as promoted by Frank Lloyd Wright and by Fowler's colleague Fay Jones. The design of Deepwood House may also have been influenced by Fowler's period of study in Oslo, Norway, while on a Fulbright Scholarship, as many forms and details resemble vernacular sources in that region. Deepwood House was home to Fowler and his family for nearly thirty-five years.
