Designed with unusual sensitivity to the movement of the sun and moon throughout the year, the home's architecture and expansive windows bring the beauty of the outdoors into every season. This is more than a house. It is a modern, solar-powered mountaintop retreat where architecture, nature, comfort, & sustainability come together in perfect balance.
