Program: A two-story 3,230-square-foot residence includes a double height reception and dining area, six bedrooms, three bathrooms, an office, a media room, a library,  playroom, and spa room.

Design concept and solution: Pencalenick House is embedded in the sloping hills of a forest, overlooking an estuary. The architects designed the elongated timber-framed volume with a contoured concrete retaining wall at the rear . The glazed front opens onto views of the estuary. A  green roof  provides insulation.
