that supports connection and reflection in equal measure.
The design process began with a deep understanding of the site’ s orientation, topography and prevailing conditions. Every decision, from window placement to wall depth, was made to enhance energy efficiency and encourage natural ventilation.
The result is a home that is both refined and responsive: low energy in operation, low maintenance by design, and rich in spatial experience. Footprint Architects have created a lasting family dwelling that champions modern sustainability while remaining rooted in its place and purpose.
