L|J Residence by Aidlin Darling Design is a modern home in Northern California designed within a grove of heritage oaks. The house organizes its spaces to capture views of the surrounding trees, incorporating framed perspectives across the site. Its sculptural approach interrelates the built form with the landscape while responding to changes in sunlight throughout the day.
