Stone Horizon

Anchored by bold monoslope rooflines, this contemporary home strikes a powerful yet grounded presence on its expansive rural site. The sweeping roof planes, subtly varied in height and pitch, echo the natural horizontality of the surrounding plains, visually rooting the architecture to the land. This connection is reinforced through deliberate alignments—where lines of roof, stone, and siding converge to form a harmonious visual rhythm that guides the eye across the façade.

The exterior composition is defined by a refined balance of materials, each deployed with precision. Warm wood siding brings a tactile softness, set against the crisp edges of ACM panels and the clean transparency of large glass panes. These elements are not simply juxtaposed but carefully proportioned and aligned, creating a façade where every joint and transition speaks to thoughtful craftsmanship. At the front entry, a custom wood bracket detail adds both structural integrity and sculptural presence, framing the glass entry wall with an artisan’s touch.

Projecting stone pillars stand proudly along the approach, creating a modern “Stonehenge” effect that lends a sense of arrival and architectural permanence. This stonework extends into low garden walls and landscape elements, further embedding the home into its site. The result is a seamless interplay between architecture and environment, where built form and terrain are in quiet conversation.

A secondary structure, echoing the rooflines, material palette, and proportions of the main residence, complements and reinforces the overall design language. This architectural counterpart not only provides functional support but also strengthens the home’s visual narrative—a story of cohesion, balance, and enduring connection to place.
