The design in context
Architecture around the landscape.
Natural rock outcrops help organize the public and private spaces. Steel, masonry and glass frame the landscape while keeping its presence close to the rooms.
The photographs show the relationship between arrival, shaded terraces and glazed living spaces. Together, they offer a way to consider how a home can engage with a mountain site.
