Craig Dykers highlights the clients’ desire for their home to appear as if "it had landed from somewhere else but also like it had always been there." This statement encapsulates the challenge of balancing innovation with harmony in design.
Dykers explains the importance of shape and line, stating that the clients hoped for a house that transcended traditional designs: "They were hoping for a house that wasn't just about plain modularity or a rectilinear plan."
To align with the landscape's unique features, Dykers designed two curving volumes that represent the home, merging aesthetics with functionality. This approach emphasized that the design must be both novel and practical.
Dykers remarks on the significance of tactile, human-scale materials which contribute to the architecture’s monumentality, asserting that "small things become very important" in creating a meaningful environment.
