“Every part, every piece has a role to play and they join together to the benefit of all.”
—E. Fay Jones
The House
Nestled on Crowley’s Ridge, on a 30.55 acre heavily wooded site in Forrest City, Arkansas, the 7,900 square foot Edmondson House is a masterpiece of midcentury modern design by E. Fay Jones.
The Edmondsons
Before they were client and architect, friend and confidant, benefactor and beneficiary, the connection between Don Edmondson and Fay Jones began as student and teacher.
The Architect
E. Fay Jones was an American architect and designer whose timeless work continues to inspire and captivate. Central to his design approach was the concept of organic architecture. A practice that emphasizes the integration of natural materials, forms, and light.
The Owners
The husband and wife architects are currently leading the restoration efforts. The house is the subject of their research into use of modern technology, such as 3D laser scanning in preservation, and their interest in preserving the legacy of modernist design.
The Producers
We are documentarians, videographers, photographers, writers, designers, artists, musicians, educators, and architects.
