modern retreat

Stevens_retreat2Stevens_retreat

If you’ve ever had the dream of building a modern retirement retreat, than you’ll love these sketches of an in progress project that Michael Huber Architects is working on. The structure will sit on 10acres of heavily wooded landed, with steep inclines, overlooking a river and horse pasture. The owners are a semi-retired furniture designer (thus the large garage section) and a retired furniture buyer. The project is still in preliminary stages of concepting but they plan to look into using some alternative materials like Thermomass and Structurally Insulated Panels to form the structure. I can’t wait to see how this project progresses over the next few months, so we’ll keep our eyes on it.
