The project consists of a main house, a barn, and a guesthouse.
ARRANGMENT
The guesthouse is organized around two atrium courtyards, creating sheltered outdoor spaces and providing protection from the strong prevailing winds.
The house is structured around a modular system that references a traditional post-and-beam construction, where the building envelope, windows, and insulation are placed within the structural grid.
The envelope and insulation are made from a locally sourced straw-based product called Ecococon, produced within a 30 km radius of the site.
