<p>The home is inspired by the simple and natural virtues of the site's trees and rock outcroppings. An abundance of trees splitting rocks near a stream bed are the essences of the Park running through the center of D.C. The home is seen as an abstracted tree with a street side of patina copper planted on two columns at the cliff's edge hung by steel cables. The park side rear is clad with transparent super-insulated glazing. Trees are saved and wrap through the house. The design desires to blend into the park by its matching natural colors as well as its use of glass which reflectively display the preserved trees surrounding it. (Image: Ken Wyner)</p><p></p>
