Hilltop Homestead
Hilltop Homestead presents a house arranged as two barn inspired volumes linked by a glazed passage that forms a courtyard between them. The plan organizes the home into zones for living, leisure and rest. A double height living area opens toward the garden and connects with outdoor spaces. Additional areas include a spa with pool and rooms for recreation. Parts of the house may adapt to changing needs over time. The layout maintains a clear relation between the building, daily activities and the surrounding landscape, while guiding movement along the courtyard axis.
