The Lantern House honors the beauty of its natural setting while embracing modern design principles. It offers a retreat where residents can reconnect with nature without sacrificing contemporary comforts, embodying a harmonious blend of architectural elegance and natural serenity.

Large windows frame panoramic views of the surrounding woods, blurring the boundaries between indoor comfort and outdoor tranquility. Inside, warm wood accents and carefully curated interiors evoke a sense of cozy sophistication, inviting residents to unwind in a space that feels both luxurious and fitting within its environment.

The translucent Kalwall system above the Shou Sugi Ban charred-wood siding creates a floating roof effect, extending to provide shade for the outdoor deck. By tucking the bedrooms into the lower level, the design maintains a relatively small footprint while offering a grand open living area that seamlessly expands to the outdoors.
