Rob Henry Architects: Situated on a leafy suburban site, the Ribbon House has been carefully wrapped around the existing established trees to enhance the indoor / outdoor connection.

No house is complete without roofing. A roof serves as a barrier against snow, hail storms, debris, rain, sun, ice, and branches. A good roof should serve for many years to come. If you have a roof that is in bad shape, it can cause your house to develop molds, mildew, and get leaks.

Bedroom is that part of our home that can be considered as the most personal and intimate. It is the place where we rest and feel the most comfortable. We usually don’t let any and every outsider to step into our bedrooms because it is the place where we show our vulnerable selves to the ones who are of highest priority.
