Integrating high-end modern design and a commitment to green building, this new house makes use of an existing foundation to create dramatic living spaces that flow into the landscape.

The material palette includes COR-TEN steel, stained concrete mixed with fly-ash, and FinPly panels. Passive ventilation, radiant floors, solar hot water and photovoltaic power dramatically reduce energy use.

From the very beginning, every detail you designed came together to create not just a house but a home. Perfectly adapted to each stage, meeting our needs and making life smoother in ways we couldn’t have anticipated.

My son built a Lego model of what we wanted, and we showed it to him. A lot of that model ended up in the final place.
