A compact house organized around light, threshold, and seasonal enclosure. Cedar House is shown here as an extended reading sequence, allowing material, light, and scale to register slowly across the page. These notes are placeholder text for now, intended to be replaced with a project-specific account of the design process, collaborators, constraints, and the evolving relationship between image and space.
