Modern Hillside Living

A modern response to living on a narrow hillside site with a view. It was important to locate this building in a way that avoided obstructing views from neighbouring residences and to provide meaningful landscaping.  The house is situated lengthwise on the site, so the spine of the building runs down the hill instead of across, which was incredibly successful. This project fully embraces the concept of geothermal and environmental responsibility.
