Maslak Residence, Nelson BC

An extensive environmental analysis was performed before the design of this project to gain a better understanding of how factors such as solar gain, shading, wind and the buildings relationship to it's natural surroundings could influence it's form. The house is designed to mitigate any adverse natural forces while simultaneously blending in with it's natural context.
