I'm very taken by this house, which seems perfectly appropriate to (and humble in the face of) the scale of the surrounding landscape. Large glass with high winds scares me, but what boldness!
I'm with LB. This is a great project, I think. My favorite aspect is the balance here--how the maine level of the house basically uses the glass walls to appropriate the landscape as a wallpaper, but how the stair to the loft is a narrow passage framing a narrow, concentrated view out over a meticulously geometric garden to the wildness of the landscape beyond. Very, very nice.
