Morada Residence

Set against a backdrop of curated natural landscaping, and grounded in a palette of stone, natural wood, smooth stucco, and architectural metal panels, this contemporary home embodies refined contrast and clean geometry. This home is organized along a strong central axis that anchors the design and guides movement throughout. Rooted in principles of sustainable design and inspired by Passive House strategies, the home emphasizes energy efficiency, thermal comfort, natural daylighting, and a deep connection to nature. Water features add moments of reflection and drama, amplifying the home’s connection to its landscape. The architecture celebrates the automobile with the garage and carport elevated as central design elements. Expansive glass blurs the boundary between interior and exterior, inviting light, shadow, and greenery deep into the living spaces. In the master suite, a private Zen Garden offers moments of calm and contemplation. At night, subtle lighting and shadows bring the structure to life.
