the Caterpillar House

The design for the Caterpillar House, sited on the softly rolling hills of the Santa Lucia Preserve California , sought to accentuate a connection to the land.  Having lived in a Cliff May home, the client came to the project with a love of modern ranch houses and looking for an environmentally conscious response to a beautiful site.  The Caterpillar House by Feldman Architecture implements sustainable elements while exploring a contemporary version of ranch ideals. The building is low and horizontal with a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Rammed earth walls gently curve in response to the site’s contours and also act as a thermal mass, regulating temperatures from day to night. The house is light, relaxed and totally at ease.
