Two simple wedge-shaped “peaks” intersect to deliver this house’s spaces in a rational, exciting way. The roofs high points meet in the middle to form the central great space with foyer, living, kitchen, and dining spaces.

Dramatic entry reveals a peak of the forest through the foyer and living room.

The roof tilts up to create a loft area with access to the roof observatory. This “popup” adds height over the dining area and kitchen, and invites ample light from above. A dog bed is tucked under the loft stair.

E/W Section cut looking North. This type of exploration helped us explore how the roof deck could could be accessed by a “popped up” roof element that can provide light for the kitchen and create a nifty reading loft.

A fun loft space looks over the kitchen and provides access to the roof deck.

Primary bath: elegant and clean, the bathroom finishes complement and enhance the bright open space with huge windows inviting views of the private lot.
