Designed around the daily movement of the sun.
From the beginning, the owners imagined a home where they could experience both ends of the day—watching the sun rise in the morning and set again in the evening. That simple desire became one of the primary organizing ideas for the house.
At opposite ends of the plan, the Sunrise Room and Sunset Room reach outward toward their respective views, connected by a singular circulation path that stretches through the heart of the home. Rather than treating the residence as one continuous mass, the plan is broken into a series of distinct volumes that shift, step, and respond to the site.
The two rooms at the outermost edges are intentionally pulled away from the main body of the house and connected through narrow, transparent transitions. This creates a glass-bridge effect, visually separating the rooms from the larger structure and giving each the feeling of a destination—places to retreat to at the beginning and end of the day.
That same modulation carries through the exterior architecture, where changes in roof form, material, and depth help break down the scale of the home. The result is a large residence that reads as a collection of interconnected spaces rather than a single imposing volume, with the Sunrise and Sunset Rooms anchoring the composition at either end.
One house, organized around two moments: sunrise and sunset.
