Trial's edge
Trail's Edge is an 8200 ft² housing project that embeds itself within a plot of trees in the rugged, natural surroundings of Whistler, British Columbia. The resulting architecture immerses its inhabitants into the site's environment and offers a calming remedy to the cacophony of urban life, using transparent openings, material selection, and scalar relationships to actively reduce its own presence.
