Divided into three distinct volumes, the house promotes acoustic isolation while encouraging outdoor circulation and a deep connection with nature. Featuring passive thermal design, a rooftop stargazing deck, and a 30,000-gallon rainwater harvesting system, the residence blends seamlessly with its environment using raw materials and minimal environmental impact.
