Our clients asked us to create an “extraordinary home”. That was it; and after a bit of probing - to create one that would cantilever into the treetops, overlooking Lake Wylie. At the same time they wanted to stay grounded and sans stairs to climb in order to grow old in this new dream home.

So we cut a set of stone walls into the hill and placed the house on top, creating level terraces in the hill side. We let the home careen over the artificial cliff, providing views from all the primary spaces. They enter on a ground floor that takes them hovering into thin air at the edges.
