Perhaps one of the most elegant houses I’ve ever seen. The tree-framing compositions are almost painfully poetic, the plan is beautifully simple. All at once, private, open, wondrous, and it even manages to respond actively to the site & climate. My firm has a project on this site nominated for Building of the Year, but I’m voting for this one instead! These guys are my new favorite architects. Outstanding, very well done.

Compelling, though I only wonder about the deep Miesian beam framing between the courtyard and the tree. A beam the depth of the framing above the windows would have sufficed, unless of course it does something else. Doubtful.
Just a thought. Still beautiful.

I agree with musser. But even without them, I can tell this house is gorgeous. The photographer was very smart to wait for cloud cover; this house has a mystery that is very compelling. Those trees in the courtyard are stunning.
