Woven Into Nature One Building At A Time

The Gypsy Lane development unveils a harmonious ensemble of four distinct homes nestled amidst the lush Claremont Hills landscape.

Vision

Entrusted by the developers, our task was to subdivide a single parcel of land into four desirable single-family properties, drawing inspiration from nature, Nordic design, and a profound affinity for natural wood. These residences blend seamlessly with the surroundings, evoking the image of fortified boulders anchored in the terrain, distinguished by unique roof lines and adorned with strategically placed exterior balconies. A shared access driveway fosters a sense of community within this small yet impactful enclave.
