How can a home accentuate the qualities of nature?

Tree House
The owners fell in love with the rich qualities of the property: a rocky stream, a gentle slope, and beautiful hardwood trees. The home is perched like a tree house, allowing the land to fall beneath it, while the upper floors move up into the tree canopy.
The southern end of the house features a two-story porch with large sliding glass doors that allow for true indoor-outdoor living. All rooms overlook the rocky stream from above. Inside, a two-story light shaft floods the center of the home with natural light. The layout of the home celebrates togetherness, while allowing space and room to grow for each individual family member. The use of color and materials reflect the family’s personality and love for the natural world.
