Clark Residence
How can the land become a framework that informs the organization of the home and supports the owner’s hobbies?

Clark Residence
A house is a client’s daily routines laid across the land. On this site, a constant slope in one direction allows the living spaces to run parallel to the topography, while the more private spaces run perpendicular to the grade, nestling into the hillside.
This home is perched on a site overlooking a wooded lot. It is organized around the warmth of wood and the glow of natural light, designed to support the owners’ many retirement hobbies. Spaces are knitted together by a continuous wood wall that moves from the porch through the living room, entry, kitchen, and up the stairs. Two-story lightwells pull daylight from above, casting a soft glow into the kitchen and master bath. The roofline follows the slope of the land, making room for a workshop beneath the master suite on one end and hobby spaces—art, yoga, music—above the garage on the other.
