Canyon Residence

Nestled in a wooded, hilly landscape, the net-zero energy home's formal design responds creates powerfully proportioned living spaces, including a heavy-duty stone sculpting studio, that interweave with the surround forest and vegetable garden. It is organized around two axes - a plinth and spine that organizes its rich spaces.

"This design of this home was driven by the owner’s passion for making. A significant sculpture studio, workshop, and vegetable garden, ground the design of this villa."
- Michael B. Lehrer
