Living the Dream
The completed project immerses its inhabitants in nature, where lines
of snow on the railings and rooftop in winter blend into the striations
of snow on the overhanging cliffs. Embraced by the mountains of the
moonlit canyon, and framed by the stars above, the concept of living
in a glass house is now a dream come true.

“From my very first visit to the site, I knew that this project would
require decisiveness and clarity and that it would draw upon
everything that I have come to know and feel like an architect,”
concludes Aybars Asci. “I felt the responsibility of touching the land,
and I understood that that came with the responsibility to create the
very best that the human spirit can offer.” dw
