The Watch House

The Watch House is a copper house situated on a circular earthen mound inspired by the Native Americans. The mound is sunken in the center and sunflowers and prairie grass grow there. These garden crops refer to the Hopewell Indians and they were the first Ohio farmers.The house has a domed ceiling similar to a planetarium with cut-out that reflect household items and serve as light portals. They’re symbolic of the growing universe and the ever changing nature of the family in modern society.The Watch House represents the association between today’s modern culture and Dublin’s native culture.
