The mansion, which sits on 45 000 square feet of property, was built for the client and his family, who are regular entertainers with a demand for extensive areas for organizing gatherings of all sizes.
Stepping Stone House perches above its aquatic environment with the lightness of an origami building, capturing the immersive aspects of the surroundings: trees, ferns, lake, lawns, fountains, and the varying patterns of sunshine and shadow as they dance across the water and its interiors.
The sloping site served as the starting point for the design of this residential house, which was intended to create a conversation between architecture and landscape.
Respect the stone, recover the old pieces, and blend them with an open and modern distribution, current lighting, and furniture to create new delightful areas.
