Trillium is a modest and efficient home designed and located to connect with the natural environment of the Methow Valley. With living spaces oriented to the forest and North Cascades to the west, the open interior provides refuge that feels immersed in its surroundings. Steel, cedar and concrete blend with the native surroundings while providing a material that needs little attention. The main level floats above the ground to give the feeling of being in the trees while the lower level bunkers into the hillside for natural cooling during the warm summer season. Creating a fine balance between the modern refuge and its rugged surroundings, Trillium provides shelter with minimal distraction from the natural beauty of the site.
