The winning entry of the Dwell Home Design Invitational, The Dwell Home is situated on a hilly site among 7 wooded acres. The home takes full advantage of it's natural surroundings: bringing in the woodland views and natural light through plentiful windows, generously sized decks off the front and rear facades, and a roof deck with an outdoor fireplace.

With 2042 sq feet divided among five prefabricated modules, the home offers compact and efficient quarters made up of large open living spaces and cozy private enclaves.

To meet the necessity of creating a livable floor plan and a well-orchestrated flow of space, the ground floor is an open plan module containing a living room, dining area, and a kitchen that can be entirely open to the outside or enclosed by a curtain.

Sensitive to the clients' desire for more defined communal/private spaces, the private spaces are more compartmentalized, making up the second story volume of the home.

The master bedroom at one end of the volume looks out onto grove trees, and two bathrooms and a guest/office run along the same axis bound by bamboo flooring.
