Project Description
This new custom single-family home in a quiet, leafy neighborhood, was designed to address the needs of an elderly couple who wanted to retain full autonomy over their lifestyle. Accommodations were built into the planning and circulation of the house, including a first floor master suite, as well as subtle amenities that simplify typical tasks. The house’s material palette reflects the client’s love of natural materials including a variety of hard and soft woods and stone. The central atrium floods the interior with light at all times of day. And the house employs highly energy efficient strategies, including solar shading, high efficiency heating / conditioning systems, and a super-insulated envelope with high-performance glazing.
