Situated along the outer perimeter of the Shevlin Commons Community, this predominantly single-story residence boasts construction utilizing insulated concrete forms (ICF), while its roof utilizes a highly insulated, unvented design. The exposed rafter tails, meticulously fashioned from CVG cedar through the precision of a local guitar manufacturer's CNC router, add an artisanal touch. Nestled within the terrain, both the house and courtyard are sunken, affording protection against the harsh winter winds and ensuring a harmonious presence in the natural surroundings.

Adjacent to the main courtyard, a detached office features a planted roof, contributing to the overall greenery. Accessible via a spiral staircase, a cozy reading space captures panoramic mountain views to the north. The architectural layout consists of interconnected building forms positioned to align with the scenic views and optimal solar orientation. Despite embracing contemporary shed and flat roof designs, the building's exterior combines elements of stucco, locally-sourced stone, and exterior wood patterns reminiscent of the area's traditional mill and residential structures.

The interior exudes a blend of modernity and warmth, attributed to the extensive utilization of wood, natural plaster, stone, and custom decorative concrete. This careful selection of materials establishes a seamless design aesthetic that bridges the gap between indoors and outdoors. A thoughtfully curated color palette, a variety of textures, and a purposefully low-profile building mass all contribute to the graceful integration of this residence within the picturesque landscape.
