Located at the base of a cove forest overlooking a large open meadow the clients wanted a home that blended into the natural setting. The structure was to have clean lines with materials that reflected the surrounding landscape. Access was available on a jeep trail through the meadow and into the forest. The chosen site contained numerous rock outcroppings and a natural contour that created a platform for the house to sit above wet weather drainage areas. The form of the home takes on the angle of the contours while allowing natural light to filter through the trees during the early morning hours. The exterior is covered in charred wood siding blending with the shadows of the forest. Exterior screen walls at the entrance and outdoor shower are composed of board-formed concrete which reflects the color and texture of the exposed boulders, eventually even allowing moss to grow on the rough surface.
