M1

Lot size: 0.49 acre
House: 3,834 sq. ft.
Location: Tetherow

Concept and spatial organization

M1 House features a floating roof over a series of stepped platforms that follow the natural topography of the selected lot. This simple concept creates a rich spatial structure that combines views of nature, and an organic continuity between exterior and interior.
‍
The single-floor house allows life to flow quietly and serenely, provides elegantly exaggerated views of nature, allows for multiple exterior accesses, and has a character of independence and freedom.

Landscape design

The landscape design works with the interior and the exterior, blending both areas into the dwelling. The presence of a magnificent Ponderosa Pine Tree in the middle of this lot organically organizes each room in a simplistic but modern manner.  Life currents are circular and continuous, linking living spaces and native vegetation in an inside-outside fusion.

M2

Lot size: 0.47 acre
House: 4,215 sq. ft.
Location: Tetherow

Concept and spatial organization

M2 is designed as a continuous space around a series of patios of different sizes blending exterior areas with interior spaces. This house is compact and porous, minimizing its footprint and allowing the landscape to become an integral part of the design.

The house is organized by two floors:  the ground floor hosts the main area which provides multiple views of the distant landscape and allows for multiple connections with the exterior.  The second floor presents a magnificent panorama from the upper living room, providing visual access to the mountain range from the rooftop.

compact + porous

This house design features a compact layout with a dynamic exterior, perforated by a series of interior and exterior patios. This perforation supports a multiple-relation field where domestic life flows along the different interiors and exteriors in novel ways.

landscape

The landscape proposal is based on the minimal footprint strategy. The patios will be planted with native species, creating special backdrops for the different private and public spaces of the house. A roof garden will be covered with the same native plants, bringing nature to the upper level of this house.
