The 38 acre site is predominantly open, fallow farmland with no existing
structures. Historically the site has supported a nursery, farm crops, and
currently is used as a vegetable market with a small gardening plot. The
significant components of the site are a pine plantation stands and a few
mature beeches and maples.
The design is intended to challenge conventional housing developments to
be richer in landscape expression and experience and more creative in their
definition of living patterns.
The houses are oriented east-west for passive solar gain along the longest
mass of the building and for a long frontage of northern light along the
opposite side of the house. |
