Hillside House

Hillside House by Silo Architecture + Design is located on a steep, forested five-acre property. The house, including an attached studio, was positioned to preserve a wetland at the base of the slope. The design responds to the topography by running parallel to the contour lines, with the building volumes stepped into the hill and terraced landscaping stabilizing the site. Cleared portions of the land are set for replanting with native vegetation to restore the environment. The house is characterized by large, well-placed windows for abundant natural light. An attached studio provides space for work, guests, or other uses, accessed by a separate entry. The lower level contains a spacious, daylit area intended for gatherings and is designed to accommodate a future wine cellar. Sustainably harvested cedar, sourced and milled from trees already on the property, is a primary exterior material, supporting the project’s environmental goals.
