Reader Project

Golden View

By user-7175296, member

The project involved the redesign and completion of a partially constructed house on the Upper Hillside of Anchorage. Perched above the landscape, the home stretches across the hillside like an extended tree house. An abundance of natural light creates an interior atmosphere that complements many surfaces within the home. The articulate walnut panel cladding, stone, and concrete in concert with an open glazing system creates a dissolved separation between the interior and exterior spaces.

    What a property, the dreamed tree house. The sight also reminds me of a James Bond movie :)
