the design team sought to create a structure that appeared as an adaptation of its surroundings, using materials such as steel, aluminum, OSB and — most prominently — board formed concrete. conceived as a place for rest and relaxation, the residence also includes a number of areas configured for recreation. consequently, a communal patio capable of hosting barbecues and bonfires is positioned in front of the home’s primary façade.
