House of Earth & Sky
Ecological responsibility guided the design of this LEED-Platinum, Net Zero Energy home that celebrates the intersection of earth and sky. The design is a series of glass pavilions anchored by rammed earth walls and sheltered under kite-like floating roofs. Wood floors, ceilings, and cabinetry provide a sensual layer within the rough walls, creating intimate interiors among the surrounding gardens.
