ResidentialConstructionView project

Project Overview

This residential home represents a collaboration with Atelier Architecture, exploring the expressive potential of curved design forms. We prioritize natural materials—wood, stone, rammed earth—that age gracefully and connect buildings to their place. The biophilic framework guides our approach, creating spaces that minimize environmental impact and contribute to the health and well-being of occupants.

Design Approach

The design emerged from a deep study of the site's topography and natural features. We worked closely with Atelier Architecture to develop forms that respond to the landscape while creating intimate interior spaces and expansive views to the surrounding environment.

  • Curved organic forms
