Golden View Residence

Steven Bull / Workshop AD / From Marvin windows Architect Challenge Gallery

Perched above the landscape, the home stretches across the hillside like an extended treehouse. An interior atmosphere of natural lightness was introduced to the home. Surfaces throughout the structure share a common language of articulated cladding with walnut panels, stone and concrete. The result is a dissolved separation of the interior and exterior.
