grey stone retreat ::

Surrounded by the impressive verticality of a mixed wood forest, the strong horizontal lines of the grey stone retreat is a counterpoint to its natural surrounding. The simple forms of the wood-framed structure is sheathed in large sized ceramic slabs, providing a highly elegant and striking effect.

The floor plan encircles a sheltered outdoor terrace becoming the heart of the complex and accessible from multiple spaces within the dwelling. Large glass walls amplify views to wildlife, including common white-tailed deer and the occasional moose wandering through the nearby woods..

Viewed from the entry road leading to the residence, the structure, set lightly over a concrete base appears to hover over the surrounding prairie grasses.
