Completed in 2016, this open-concept bungalow blends rammed earth and timber frame construction to create a warm, durable, and low-energy home nestled into a west-facing slope with spectacular views.
Stone’s Throw Design guided the clients through a complex approvals process involving both Conservation and Transportation authorities, ensuring that the home could sit gently within its natural landscape.
Inside, radiant in-floor heating and an innovative water-to-water heat pump provide exceptional comfort and efficiency. A lifted roofline welcomes southern sunlight deep into the living spaces, passively warming the home through the seasons.
The result is a dwelling that uses 66% less energy than a typical home — a thoughtful balance of natural beauty, performance, and place.
