Nestled within a secluded clearing on a densely vegetated one-hectare site, Glade explores the delicate balance between lightness and permanence. A sculptural stone plinth emerges from the landscape, anchoring the home to its setting, while a floating roof plane forms an elevated garden, creating the impression of architecture lightly resting within the forest.

The living spaces dissolve into the landscape through expansive retractable glazing, allowing the home to open completely to its surroundings and encouraging a seamless dialogue between indoors and out. Above, the private bedroom volume is expressed as a refined, more solid form, carefully framed to capture views while providing shelter, privacy, and retreat.
