House near the Marsh
The project is a single-family house located on an isthmus between a pond and a freshwater marsh, on a spot of ground ringed by unusually tall and slender live oak trees. The focus of the house is a large room with walls of glass providing views of the natural setting. The house is built to age gracefully by using materials like cedar, copper, board-formed concrete and stacked stone.
