?On behalf of the Fallingwater Advisory Committee, I’d like to express how happy we are with the transformation of High Meadow. Thanks to you, this once humble little prefab has metamorphosed into a wonderful space that connects to the beauty of its setting in the most delightful way, all without hubris or a heavy hand. It is everything we had hoped for.?

The Nature of Place :

Positioned between forest and field, four modest dwellings with simple wood interiors and framed vistas of the surrounding hilltops rest lightly above ground on a network of nimble steel columns and delicate tectonics, imparting minimal disturbance to the site. An angled shroud at the end of each unit catches cool breezes rising up from the valley floor below and shields the naturally ventilated rooms from the summer sun. Screened entry doors allow for additional airflow and connect the units to a covered walkway.
