The proposal for this residence started with a diagram that proposed a dominant double-height volume as the focal point for the home. This volume serves as the primary space for communal living and entertaining, establishing a central axis from which other programmatic volumes extend. The double-height architectural mass anchors the composition. Subsidiary volumes, housing bedrooms and private quarters, emanate from it. 

The exterior material palette comprises field stone, long format brick, honed concrete, and wood, selected to impart a refined and also a natural, textured aesthetic. The interplay of these architectural volumes generates interstitial pockets of light, forming intimate courtyards that emerge from their spatial push and pull.
