This beautiful home was built taking into consideration wind patterns and views.
This house was shaped by its site. Passive solar strategies and attention to wind patterns and views were used to develop the long wedge-shaped roof and window overhangs. It is coupled to the ground by burying one end in the low hill on the site and through a horizontal geo-thermal field and heat pump.
