EDGELAND RESIDENCE

Hidden under an insulative grass roof, the entry to Bercy Chen Studio’s Edgeland Residence is almost invisible to the unobservant eye

Built on a rehabilitated brownfield site, the residence aims to repair the damaged landscape and raise awareness about the earth’s finite resources. In harnessing nature’s intelligent design, the home maintains a comfortable temperature year round without the environmental footprint. Even the pool is smart–used as an additional thermal mass tied to the hydronic system applied throughout.
