Geothermal House design by Maryann Thompson Architects – designed to relate the interior spaces to the adjacent landscape

The arrangement of the guest wing, main living spaces and bedroom wing, which wrap along the hill’s crest, is a response to the topography, solar orientations and views beyond. From the entry courtyard, the low profile of the house and selective openings through the facade allow for a playful hide and reveal of the landscape without dominating the site. read more »
