THE MODERN RESIDENCE
BELOW TOP: This Zen, net-zero house in Faber, Virginia, celebrates the importance of the "rituals" of everyday life for the owner and
her many visitors. The architect set out to design a self-sufficient green home that integrates the rhythm of the owner's daily schedule
with the spirit of the land and its micro-climate.
BELOW BOTTOM: The roof form is the primary defining element; in one calligraphic gesture, it rises from the south up to a third-floor
gallery, cascading down on the north to create a porte cochere.
