The residence

A Quiet
Point of View.

Sheltering roof planes and dark cladding settle the home into its wooded hillside. Broad glazing opens toward the lake, while warm timber gives the architecture a softer edge.

The interior studies carry that same balance: natural grain, calm surfaces and space for the landscape to take the lead.
