CEDARLAKES RESIDENCE

Cedarlakes Residence is a 2100 sf 3-bedroom home located in a new subdivision of prototypical 3000 plus sf suburban homes. It is situated on a unique triangular site with a backdrop of mature trees creating a striking impression within its suburban context. Surrounded on two sides by a forest of conifers, the Cedarlakes Residence resembles a series of parallel, rectilinear volumes stacked in a sculptural ensemble.

Three distinct volumes, clad in white cement board and wood siding, shift side to side stretching across the site in an elongated and playful manner creating dramatic cantilevered overhangs. The interior is composed of a simple pallet of white and natural wood with generous windows looking out to the forest. The light filled interior harmonizes with the clean and simple language of the exterior and is intimately connected to the surrounding forest.
