Hearth House

An adventure through the landscape; a tiered experienced in which one approaches, navigates, and orients themselves in the romantic built form. This housing project demonstrates a Canadian cottage-like experience as it guides the user through a hierarchy of spaces, each referencing back to the landscape through the senses. Each portion of the design engages the user with different aspects of the site; whether it be the separation of public from private or the interaction between built form and natural relationships. The sole of this project is truly about romanticizing organic relationships, focusing on the natural power of the hearth while growing outwards into nature itself.
