The densely wooded inland lot is untouched, offering a blank canvas for master planning. The site’s design includes two axes that maximize solar gain and assist in the distribution of spaces. To balance scale, the program is organized into smaller, single-story structures connected by fully glazed corridors with green roofs that help settle the volumes into the landscape. The resulting L-shaped layout creates a natural southern-facing courtyard, fostering interior–exterior engagement.

Exterior priorities included a greenhouse (intended as a gathering space with a woodstove), the use of natural stone, rainwater collection systems, green roofs, and photovoltaic panels. Stone walls, wildflower meadows, and tree glades serve as architectural edges. These features not only enhance the site’s natural beauty but also create functional, organic boundaries and contribute to the overall harmony between the residence and its surroundings.
