Kehoe Bay

A living roof spreads across this modern single-story residence to completely shelter itself with a bio-diverse habitat.

The roofscape jogs in and out reflecting the buildings geometric form as the building berms itself into the hillside.

A secret inner courtyard garden provides daylight into the northside of the residence.

Small gravel basins and a small pond diversify the landscape providing an increase in habitable niches for invertebrates, pollinators and birds alike.
