What this concept explores

A house that disappears into its meadow.

Concept render. Long horizontal single-storey silhouette on a twelve-acre meadow lot. Charred-cedar shou-sugi-ban cladding, dark-bronze standing-seam metal roof at a gentle shed pitch, a screened sleeping porch on the east end for the morning sun. The version Candace would build if she could find a meadow lot priced for a single-storey footprint.

Candace's voice memo · transcript
Single-storey, long and low, hidden behind the grass. The screened porch on the east is non-negotiable in this shape — that is the room you use eight months of the year.
