• About Firm
  TTA specializes in combining innovative architectural theory and practice. The partnership has worked on various projects, including custom single-family and multi-family housing and commercial designs.

They strongly advocate for sustainable and energy-efficient building materials and methods to minimize energy consumption.

The site is situated on a ridge, providing unobstructed views of the nearby hills and valleys.
The project entails adding a residential wing to an existing single-story house. The new two-story section connects to the original house at an acute angle, enhancing the intersecting space by intersecting it with the landscape and distant views. The open-plan layout facilitates a seamless flow between the spaces. The heart of the house is connected to the outdoor living areas through floor-to-ceiling glass walls that gently curve around the main deck, improving views of the surrounding landscape.
