‘There’s a very strong ranching, agrarian look and feel to the topography. There are not a lot of trees out there. There’s nothing inhibiting the rather commanding view, almost 360 degrees,’ he adds. ‘That opened up a lot of opportunities for us in terms of how to place the house on the site and how to connect the house to the landscape.
The dogtrot space, from which the house gets its name, connects the main house to the garage and the living space.The resulting 3,500 sq ft residence takes on a compound-like feel. The main house is a single-storey, rectangular form topped with a single, asymmetrically gabled roof. ‘There really is no overhang, which in this climate would be very typical protection against the elements,’ says CLB’s Jennifer Mei.
