The home and landscape were designed with sustainability, durability, and craft as design priorities. This translated into a material palette of concrete, wood, aluminum sheet metal, and glassfiber concrete rainscreen: materials chosen for their longer life spans and minimal maintenance. Thermal mass, a green roof, natural daylight, and natural ventilation provide passive systems for energy efficiency. Stacking doors on the homes south and east facing walls open to create a seamless transition from inside to outside, driven by the clients wish to maximize access to the minimally disturbed landscape.
