Two-story dark-clad modern residence nestled in foggy
A moody exterior precedent demonstrating how floor-to-ceiling corner glazing and warm interior lighting contrast with dark cladding and foggy forest surroundings.
- What we like about this project
- The seamless continuation of corner glass without visible mullions dissolves the building envelope into the fog.

- Geometry
- Rectilinear massing featuring floor-to-ceiling corner glazing, cantilevered balconies, and a stepped profile conforming to sloping landscape topography.
- Facade system
- Dark panel rainscreen with extensive floor-to-ceiling aluminum-framed glass corner windows.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame or wood framing with cantilevered floor plates.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential scale, fitting snugly into the sloping natural topography.
- Lighting
- Moody, overcast twilight diffused by heavy fog, contrasting with warm artificial interior illumination.
- Atmosphere
- Mysterious, calm, and sequestered within the foggy coastal canopy.
- Environmental context
- Steep, densely wooded coastal hillside enveloped in thick fog and mature evergreens.
- Spatial experience
- The illuminated interior volumes glow like lanterns through the dense fog, establishing a strong dialogue between sheltered habitation and wild nature.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical glazed bays alternate with dark solid panels, framed by overhanging tree branches.
