With the holidays approaching and travel on our minds, we're looking back on a vacation property we designed that perfectly balances comfort, style, and efficiency. Angle House – a vacation residence designed with breathtaking, unimpeded views of the surrounding landscape. This home combines architectural appeal with a highly functional floor plan, maximizing space while minimizing construction costs. By centering the design around a compact, ultra-efficient core, we were able to streamline the layout, making every inch of space count. The result? A space that’s both comfortable and environmentally conscious. The house's dimensions were crafted using modular materials to reduce waste and avoid the costs of custom-made components, making it an economically viable prototype for future vacation homes. #VacationHome #SustainableDesign #ArchitecturalInnovation #EcoFriendly #ModularDesign #HolidayGetaway
