Georgia House
Overview
As it belongs to the site as a low-profile impact, the Georgia House reflects an admiration for mid-century modern design in both form and function. This is not just a stylistic tendency, but also a strategic approach to structural and technical requirements. The earth berm provides additional strength, protection, and insulating value to meet the client's strict energy and resiliency goals. This defensive measure will help guard against the impact of high-severity storms, which are increasing in the southern continental United States.
