This minimal home was inspired by a vacation at an Ecuador retreat. Here, the focus is on quality craftsmanship and energy efficiency. The restrained contemporary palette is offset by the vaulted ceilings with a tongue and groove finish and exposed glulam beams. The footprint may be small but each space was thoughtfully arranged, proving compact homes do not need to be cramped. The floor to ceiling windows draw your eye outdoor, bringing you closer to the environment outside.
