This private residence sits on a sloping landscape with expansive mountain views and was designed for a young family of four with two adults working from home. The design responds to the terrain and surrounding scenery while supporting everyday family life and remote work. Environmental sustainability guided the overall approach and influenced decisions related to layout orientation and building performance.
The plan organizes the interior through a clear spatial subdivision that separates the sleeping quarters from the public living areas. This arrangement creates a quiet private zone while allowing shared spaces to remain open welcoming and connected to the landscape. Two dedicated office studios are positioned on different levels to ensure privacy and acoustic separation throughout the workday.
Openings and subtle architectural extrusions are oriented toward the mountain views allowing daylight and distant vistas to shape the interior experience. The material palette and overall form integrate Passive House strategies including high performance windows and carefully placed louvers that regulate solar gain provide shading and improve energy efficiency.
A compact footprint reduces disturbance to the site and preserves the character of the surrounding landscape. The result is a comfortable L shaped home that balances aesthetic clarity environmental responsibility and everyday functionality.
