The architects from JMK Architects base their designs on the concept of architecture being grounded in its place: the natural environment and surrounding landscape are key elements in their designs, as they strive to create structures that respond to their each of their unique natural contexts. The “Oxbow Lane” home that you’ll see in this tour is a manifestation of this context-based architectural philosophy. Situated on a hilltop in Connecticut, this rural home began as an existing modular home from the 60s, re-designed by JMK with the ecology at the forefront. The new layout is characterized by features that connect the building to the surrounding landscape; likewise, the architects have used many eco-friendly building practices and materials that emphasize the importance of the natural environment
