— Project

A quiet weekend house built around a single north-facing library wall. Oak, boucle and travertine give a warm, tactile counterpoint to the surrounding forest.

— Concept

One long wall of memory — books, ceramics, family — around which the plan folds into moments of stillness.

— Challenges

Sourcing FSC European oak and shipping bespoke joinery across the Atlantic without compromising the schedule.

— Design Process

Full BIM coordination in Revit, weekly renderings in Enscape shared with the client, and on-site supervision during finishing.

— Sustainability Strategy

Highly insulated timber-frame envelope, ground-source heat pump, and PV array sized to net-zero the annual heating demand.
