Perkins & Will designs a mountaintop Passive House that takes energy efficiency to the next level.

The entire living space is able to be opened up so it appears to sit beneath a canopy.

The living room is furnished with a Söderhamn sofa from Ikea, artwork by Latvian-born painter Vidvuds Zviedris, and a dining table and chairs from Mint Furniture.

The preserved grove of Redwoods is just past the house. “They loved the house that was there so much that, it was important to create something that wasn't trying to replace it, but would function for them in a different way,” says Boyer. Thus, this cabin reconnects the couple to the land, and gives them “that place of refuge” they need in nature.
