MATERIAL PALETTE INSPIRED BY NATURE
Enduring materials that will embrace time were chosen throughout the home . The folded main roof , lined with white birch on the interior and rich weathering steel on its outer skin , rises gently through the spaces , cradling the interior warmly like a tent . To enhance the tactile experience a material palette was developed holding strong juxtapositions such as the reflective , boldly-patterned green coloured stone of the counter surfaces and warm oak floors and millwork to the surface of the concrete , carrying the grain of the rough wood boards used to form it , creating a rich tactile character and expressing the memory of its making .
