Conceptually, the home is an effort in restraint. The guiding philosophy was one of workingman's modernism: utilizing basic forms and modest materials in modern ways (with shaker and Japanese principles as inspiration). Our goal was to create an uncluttered space that would be warm, welcoming, and functional.What makes this project truly special is the integration of modern detailing, advanced sustainable technologies, and minimal forms while still creating an inviting and comfortable space. Even better, compared to other similar homes, this house managed to do it without breaking the bank.
