RESIDENTIAL – Architecture

Treetop Modern

This project is about trees. It’s a pretty tall house that is set upon hillside amongst many established groupings of hardwood trees.

This home posed a challenge because ... Read our case study...

How do we take the uniquenesses of the lot and let it inform the house design? We nestled the house down and created a beautiful... Read our case study...
