White Residence
Can we complement and contrast at the same time?

White Residence
We honed in on three distinct aspects of the dense pine trees that make up this building site: ground, movement, and above. The GROUND is a thick mat of pine needles on gently sloping land; walking on them is very quite sound. The home is sliced into the land at one end while hovering slightly above at the other with garden and deck walkout areas.
The layout of the home meanders; drawing out an experience of MOVEMENT through spaces and views akin to moving around the Pines. ABOVE, a thick sculpted roof shapes interior spaces and floods the home with filter light through the high canopy of the pine trees. While the experience of the home compliments its place, the varied yellow exterior gives a modern pop contrast to an otherwise very brown and dark green natural environment below the treetops. Bespoke details throughout make for a warm modern home with a dash of playful fun.
