The Sawmill, A Remote Home In Perfect Sync With Its Surroundings

With a name like Sawmill, you'd wait this to be a conversion project only, surprisingly, this is a newly-built abode and the proper name is really a metaphor. The house was designed and built by the architects at Olson Kundig in 2014. It serves as a cozy family retreat, being beautifully embedded into the mural. The site on which it stands has been the subject of exploitation in the past then its current owners wanted now to give back to the land.

The Sawmill firm has a sustainable design and is completely off-the-filigree. It's ane of the most mannerly Olson Kundig projects because it tells a beautiful story and sends a powerful message. The architects managed to minimize the disturbance to the surroundings while at the same time maximizing the connexion betwixt the firm and the nature which surrounds it.
