A large, sloping, wooded lot with an oft-traveled snowmobile path to the north, and a couple in search of privacy, light and a home that is well integrated into its surroundings. The house is dug into the gentle hillside, nestled in front of an exposed stone wall and sheltered by a series of simple, low-sloped roofs angled to receive the sun. A bright, open yard is created to the south, bringing natural daylight deep into the house. At the eastern approach, a screen porch faces a detached sauna, framing the sunny courtyard.
