Project 1, Kinloch
A High Performance Home built on a steep, sloping site. Designed to capture stunning views of the lake and mountain ranges from every room, by seamlessly stepping floor levels and the use of clever window placement. High Performance features mean this home is kept at a constant temperature all year round.
