With this most unusual project we were given a very finite budget, yet, the unprecedented opportunity of free creative rein. There was still the practice of listening to the wishes and ideas of the clients. Moments were spent together on site before a single stone was turned because the site was so tight and specific to what was possible. This was helpful with  practical desires, as well as a starting place. This process enabled us to pay attention to how we would be impacting natural environment; initially, and for generations.  The connection with the land is what make a building special and this site and project encouraged that interaction.
