Everything orients toward balance rather than spectacle, with construction choices driving both climate comfort and a calm interior mood.

Hollywood Hills House steps down a steep Los Angeles, United States hillside with a cinematic sense of arrival shaped by Mutuus Studio.

Baw Beese sets a quiet scene on the shoreline of Hillsdale, United States, where Disbrow Iannuzzi organizes a vacation retreat for several generations at once.

Each wing holds its own rhythm, yet the whole compound stays tied to the lake, the trees, and long weekends together.
