Building a beautiful home is one thing. Building it without destroying a beautiful site is quite another. Lumber, stone, straw... all sourced from the site. A western hedgerow providing wind block. And a southern slope for full site and solar integration. This house quite literally, grew from the site. Understanding the possibilities that a site provides requires experience that only a builder committed to local, sustainable design can provide. A builder like Balance Studio.
