Mountain Casita

Situated on an a very demanding and constrained site, this small building is truly the result of its surroundings. The massing itself steps and slopes to echo the topography below it, while the roof forms stay low and harmonious with the landscape. In addition, the building will be constructed of a completely non-combustible structural and cladding system, whilst utilizing only the healthiest and stablest of materials.

studioBOSE has utilized advanced technology from the beginning, including a photogrammetry model of the site, trees and all, created from still drone images (first image). Beyond that, the building’s prefabricated steel structure will be completely detailed, panelized, and fabricated off-site, being delivered only minutes before they’re set in place. All resistance to gravity and lateral forces will be baked into each panel of the wall & roof system.
