The main design challenge was to gain approval for a bold, contemporary architectural statement in a village famed for its historical residences. To achieve that balance, the house was nestled into the rock of its steeply sloped site and utilized locally quarried stone to blend into its surroundings. Many sustainable design strategies were implemented to reduce the environmental impact of the house and its visual impact on the local community. The resulting home sets a new architectural standard for its community and demonstrates how the house construction process can be conducted in a minimally impactful way.
