Summits Residence

The Summits Residence tackles the challenge of scale by breaking the two-story design into smaller, more inviting forms that feel comfortable and approachable. A cantilevered second floor not only creates a striking visual moment but also serves a functional role, forming a protected entry canopy to welcome guests. The home’s layout is intentionally divided into public and private zones, balancing openness with retreat. Flat roofs and varied massing help reduce the perceived height of the building, while thoughtful placement of windows and materials further softens its presence. In the backyard, a courtyard-style layout offers a private outdoor space, shielded from view and surrounded by the home’s architecture. The result is a residence that feels both grounded and expansive, blending modern design with livable, everyday comfort.
