The main goal for this project was to create a house that brings together elements of a classic, traditional style home with the ideas of a modern, contemporary design. A departure from traditional, as quoted from the clients, with clean lines and expressive roofs. To combine traditional and contemporary was a challenge we were willing to take on. Keeping in mind the beautiful site surrounded by forest, we implemented the use of glass walls on the main level, and a gable roof structure as the upper level. This expressive roof almost floats above the glass, creating optimal views to the surrounding forest, and large breezeway spaces that blend the line between indoors and outdoors.
