Nestled into a meadow perched above the confluence of two rivers, Meadow | House seeks to minimize its visual impact on the natural landscape by becoming an extension of the site, rather than asserting itself upon it.
Upon approach, the native vegetation extends over a ‘landform’ of earth-toned concrete, created by lifting the meadow gently above its natural topography and extending the vegetation over the roof of the house. Grasses and wild flowers surround a charred wood form as it quietly reveals itself above the constructed meadow. Anchored into this new landform below is a cantilevered volume clad in charred wood, connecting the house audibly and visually to the surrounding rivers, meadow, and mountains.
