Tucked between a field and the forest’s edge, Ridge House straddles a gentle gradient, offering a deeply contextual response to topography that sublimates the architecture to the land. The project prioritizes passive-first strategies and all-season intimacy with the outdoors through operable glass accordion doors and a covered fire pit that sits under a vaulted plywood ceiling. Not only did we design with the land, we also found imaginative ways to bring it inside: a secret garden sits under the roof’s cleft while strategically staggered skylights cast diffuse illumination across the home.
