Accommodation

Architect Michael Rantilla of The Freelon Group designed this home for himself in the woods of South Carolina. In doing so, he faced challenges in regards to the unevenness of the land he planned to build on. So rather than digging up the earth, he was able to build upwards with three stories of concrete, glass, steel, aluminum, zinc, ipe, maple and bamboo. There was also a small creek in 
I love the natural lighting and the defiance of conventional lines and proportion. Michael also assumed the role of general contractor and was able to complete the project in only 11 months.
