This project is a high end green home in a suburban setting. The home features an open floor plan in a 'U' shape configuration that wraps around a protected, landscaped courtyard. Forming one leg of the 'U' is an octagonal yoga studio topped with a corresponding octagonal skylight. Surround the yoga studio is a water filled moat with black river rocks in the bottom, stocked with Koi fish. Flat stone bridges give the allusion of walking on water across the moat. Rain chains provide an organic path for rainwater to empty into the moat.
