Designed as partner Richard Mullen’s personal residence, he sought to create a house that was site-specific, took advantage of the remarkable mountain views, and engaged passive solar as part of the design vocabulary. Situated on a narrow lot, Richard chose to create a very linear structure that sits elegantly within both the lot and the surrounding neighborhood. Carefully determined window placement allowed him to capture the mountain views, while the use of warm materials reflected the natural surroundings within the interiors of the home. Based on the movement of the sun throughout the day, Richard created various interior and exterior spaces that made the home an excellent place to entertain.
