FANN, which stands for Finding A New Normal, is accessible, sustainable, and made in America. These three principles create a building and landscape that mediates a sloping site, shields itself from winter winds, and opens toward vistas of the surrounding countryside. The tripartite goals are also reflected in three increasingly visible masses: a green-roofed bedroom wing inset into the hillside; a gable-roofed living area facing the street; and a sky lit tower commanding views of the stream valley below.
