Looking to escape to the wilderness and connect with the land, this client bought a beautiful property overlooking a pond and the valley below.

While the dramatic gothic arches act as the shell of the structure, the design is fully open while still exhibiting a few private spaces within.

With less than 1,000 square feet of liveable space, you can find lots of hidden storage. The winding staircase features a window seat, a wrapping library for their vast collection of books and plants, and plenty of storage underneath.

The direction of the roofline points southwest, offsetting the summer sun’s heat with a partially covered deck while still allowing maximum views into the valley to watch the storms roll in.

With plans to build a large screened porch and reclaimed greenhouse, they will spend most of their time outdoors growing their own fruits and vegetables.
