Clearview Custom Home

A passive solar timber home designed to maximize the stunning views & enjoy more outdoor living.

“The homeowners saw a home I designed and wanted the same for their property. It was my pleasure to provide it.”

ANDREW HOTARI

Design Goals

Because this is a second home, the goal of the design was to provide stunning views and outdoor space to enjoy some stress-free vacation time. The house's orientation was crucial for optimizing the views while blocking the outdoor living area from cool wind gusts.

Capture the views.

As a vacation property, the homeowners wanted to capture the property's stunning views.

Enjoy some outdoor living.

A pool and cabana were essential requirements for enjoying summer days and giving the home a vacation feel.

Building for the site.

Designing the home to simplify the driveway and grading was a vital consideration.

Key Features

Timber-framed home.

Large single-span exposed timber rafters provided a dramatic, natural look throughout the home.

Panoramic views.

With a large, east-facing picture window, the homeowners got the views they wanted.

Luxury outdoor living.

Designing the house as a barrier against winds made the outdoors more comfortable.
