December 22, 2009 Modern House Design

This residence on Lot 176 is located on a ridge along the west of the Elysium development with views to the rear into extant landscape and a golf course beyond. The residence occupies the majority of the allowable building envelope and then provides a carved out two story volume in the center to allow light and ventilation to all interior spaces.

The carved interior volume provides an internal focus visually and functionally. The inside and outside are united by seamless transition and the consistent use of a restrained palette of materials. Materials are generally timbers left to weather naturally, Zinc, and self-finished oxide renders which will improve their appearance with time, allowing the houses to merge with the landscape with an overall desire for applied finishes to be kept to a minimum.
