North Georgia House




Completed in 2010, this home stands on the site of a previous house that burned down, minimizing site disturbance. Nestled between woods and a tree-smattered meadow. The horizontal forms of the house reconnect residents with the site physically. Sustainable features and innovative construction systems ensure that the house is in tune with natural systems. A central clerestory creates a connection to nature even in the innermost portions of the house, and gives the structure an iconic presence in the landscape.
