Poject Details

Situated in a three-acre mature landscape, the client wanted a house that put the emphasis on the natural surroundings; a pavilion in the garden for viewing and experiences nature. Landing lightly on, and in, the landscape, the resulting design is a crisp, jewel-box. Finely detailed and tailored, the house is relatively small in scale, deferring to the landscape. Essentially an open, one-story steel structure allows the inside to merge with the outside, enhanced by outdoor sitting areas. A small pod that houses the master bedroom suite sits atop one of the primary volumes.
