Working with Nature

Ever sit outside on a brilliantly clear crisp sunny January day, up high in the mountains, without so much as a breath of wind and feel the incredible warmth and power of the sun? That is the power we wanted for our home. Making that dream a reality has been like exploring a vast system of canyons without the benefit of maps. We remained open to all possibilities, we worked diligently and aided by the advice and inspiration of our friends and family, we hope that you agree that we have found the way.

We wanted to blend energy efficiency with architecture molded by the terrain and the Sun.
