Project Story
Local stone was cut on site and laid in deep courses, grounding the building against the weather and the steep terrain.
The court is the heart of the plan: a paved clearing that gathers the family, frames the treeline and collects what little sun the slope receives.
Timber linings warm the interiors, while a single continuous roof plane keeps the composition quiet from a distance.
