A Practical Approach to Modern Rural Living

This project involves the design of a main residence and a detached guest house, both developed with a focus on durability, energy performance, and functional living.

The design takes cues from simple, clean forms while integrating systems and construction strategies that support long-term maintenance, safety, and flexibility.

Balancing Design Simplicity with Technical Complexity

While the architectural direction is intentionally minimal, the technical requirements are highly detailed.

• Coordinating separate structures (main house and guest house)
  
• Ensuring complete air separation between garage and living spaces
  
• Integrating mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems efficiently
  
• Designing for environmental resilience, including fire-prone conditions
• Managing future expansion and utility planning

System-Driven Design and Coordination

Aforma supported the project through detailed modeling and documentation, ensuring that design intent aligns with real-world construction requirements.

• Developed coordinated plans for main house and guest house layouts
  
• Organized plumbing and mechanical systems to reduce complexity
  
• Ensured proper air sealing and separation between key zones
  
• Integrated energy-efficient systems, including ERV and LED lighting
• Supported structural clarity through clean roof forms and simple massing

A Buildable, Future-Ready Residential Design

The project results in a cohesive residential layout that balances architectural clarity with technical performance.

Both structures are designed to function independently while maintaining a unified design language, supporting both current use and future flexibility.
