Seeing a Home Through the Trees
This award-winning home in the woods makes an asset of a challenging site.
Problem
The homeowners found an infill lot in their ideal neighborhood—but it had a steep terrain and a forest of mature trees that they and the neighborhood hoped to preserve. Our challenge was to envision how the site could benefit and enhance the home—and not simply be viewed as an obstacle. We wanted to respond sensitively to the site, and achieve the owners' vision of a warm, inviting, energy efficient home—all while cost-effectively achieving LEED Gold certification.
