Prioritizing site-responsiveness, regenerative design, and connection to the outdoors, the design artfully places two gently curved forms within a grove of oaks on a steep hillside, respecting the existing landscape and orienting public and private spaces towards both distant views as well as intimate moments with dense tree canopies. The upper curved form, topped by a green roof, seamlessly emerges from the hillside and contains a primary suite with multidirectional panoramic vistas. The second lower curved form houses public spaces on the main level, playfully interlocking with the upper wing to carve out a sheltered courtyard between the two.

The glassy foyer opens onto a landscaped courtyard with a plunge pool, and a patio off the great room steps down the hillside towards a pristine meadow below. Considering fire resiliency and sustainability, the building is enveloped by durable, low-maintenance modular weathering steel panels and aluminum windows. The eroded material aesthetic reinforces the conceptual merging of architecture and landscape; wood clad interiors add warmth and a sense of refuge to counter the rugged exterior palette.
