Prompt: Comprising a main house, guest house, and writer’s studio, CLB Architects designs its ShineMaker compound to unfold as a trio of simple boxes, each thoughtfully designed in response to its unique surroundings. The 6,000 square-foot main house, positioned on the edge between field and forest, mimics a ‘geologic remnant’ in the landscape. In contrast, the 1,577 square-foot guest house and 580 square-foot writer’s studio nestle intimately within the wooded environment. A fourth structure is planned for the future, which the architects plan to be ‘spiritually focused’ to enhance the retreat’s holistic nature.
