MAPLECREST PROPOSAL
Additional Information
This is a proposed home located in a heavily forested, complicated site with a small gully dividing the property. This design features a combination of shed and flat roofs, with a Japanese inspired material palette of Alaskan yellow cedar and shou sugi ban. Large window banks take advantage of the filtered light that permeates through the tree canopy. Having a connection to the forest was one of the main goals of this proposed home.
