Sundial House

The curvilinear form of this house is a reflection of its passive solar ecological design.

To offset the building’s impact on the land the roof is planted as a habitat living roof.

Native coastal plants create a year-round active ecology similar to the adjacent natural landscape of the inland coastal bay.

Harvested rainwater is sent to cisterns under the courtyard patio to provide irrigation water for sustaining a bounty of life on the roof.
