It was the client’s desire to build something that sets itself apart from its surroundings without disturbing the harmony of its context Our challenge was to design something that has simple yet diverse functions. So, we focused on designing spaces that have different characters but, is united in expression.

“Floor-to-ceiling glazing suffuses the entire interior of the house with natural light throughout the day, including the attached oversized garage / fitness area, which is backed by a full wall of windows framing breathtaking views. Overhanging balconies and a dramatically cantilevered main floor help to diffuse harsh rays and provide respite from inclement weather”.

“The steel-and-concrete house drops off the street and terraces down a steep slope with all three levels open to the tall Douglas firs and alders through floor-to-ceiling glass walls. The entry is on the top floor, which is encircled by a green roof, creating a yard-like area and blending it further into the forest.”
