Austrian Residence

Goal
To design a house outside of Salzburg, Austria that integrates into the Austrian landscape qualities of the Pacific Rim architecture  -  that the owners have experienced in their living and traveling throughout Asia, Hawaii, and the Northwest.

Challenge
There are many zoning codes in place in Austria that respect the quality of design through their history and the local community. Any new house must be reviewed and approved by a local zoning board to ensure a quality of design is maintained.

Solution
A house set in nature, built of the highest standard of woodworking, was approved by the zoning board and so by provided a new creative design that becomes a valued addition to the community.
