JP studios analyzed the intensive architectural guidelines of the area to understand we could plan the lot to push the house down the slope toward the view out to big water, position the house to create privacy from future neighbors, and create outdoor spaces that provide different experiences at different times of the day.

Country: United States
Zip Code: 36853
