Conceived as a gateway to the
lake, the form and location of this house act to
obscure the view upon approach. The living spaces
are cantilevered and appear to float above the
forest floor (unbuilt).
L E E D:
Sustainable design is, well, here to stay. We are proud to
announce that Christopher Arelt has earned distinction as a LEED-certified
designer
by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Our approach to sustainable design is rooted in the essential nature
of the site itself, the orientation of buildings to topography/sun, minimizing
construction waste, and making appropriate choices for building systems
and the material palette. We integrate innovative methods of dealing
with passive cooling, natural ventilation, managing daylight, energy
use, recycled and repurposed materials, life cycle cost analyses and
green roof technology.
