Contemplation home

The planning of this home ensures the views are never static; they constantly orient and inform you as you traverse through.  The living area responds to the northern sun and the easterly views to the ocean and because this is essentially planned as a U-shape around a central garden area, it protects the central contemplation space at the core of the house for a source of stillness.  Recycled materials (greyed off hardwood) have been used throughout for the entire cladding and because they have a tactile quality, they make you want to touch and feel more connected to this home.
