This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.
This house, completed in 2015 in Halifax, Canada, was designed to work within the dramatic rocky landscape surrounding it.
The exterior facade, for instance, is a grey-washed wood cladding with slight variations in pattern, intended to resemble the bedrock strata of the surrounding boulders.
