The choice of wood siding is intentional, allowing it to weather naturally and blend with the forest over time. The design employs skylights strategically to maximize natural light and foster a deeper connection with the outdoors.

Utilizing Passive House design principles ensures energy efficiency and comfort, enhancing the living experience. Natural materials were selected not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their sustainability. Solar collection is integrated seamlessly into the architecture, promoting renewable energy use. Overall, the addition aims to respect the existing home while enhancing its relationship with the stunning forested landscape that envelops it.
