The Cantilevered House is a striking example of how innovative design and skilled craftsmanship can transform a challenging site into an extraordinary home. Designed to maximize views, natural light, and the connection to its surroundings, the residence features bold architectural elements that create a dramatic yet welcoming living environment.

Working closely with the homeowners and design team, Warren Construction Group executed complex structural details and precision construction techniques required to achieve the home’s distinctive cantilevered form. Large expanses of glass, carefully selected materials, and thoughtfully crafted interior spaces create a seamless relationship between the home and the landscape while delivering exceptional comfort and functionality. Drawing on our experience from several different construction disciplines we worked with the owner, architect, and structural engineer to address complex issues including cantilevering large sections of the structure over angled steel columns, floating stairs with individual trads projected from the wall and creating a board form concrete texture on 18’ tall walls. We further brought forward resources to source oversized expanses of glass and lift-&-slide doors which open to southern and eastern views. Environmental conditions are maintained by a modern mechanical system including air to water heat pumps, a gas fired Viessmann boiler for domestic hot water and supplemental heat and Zehnder ERVs. This can be monitored and controlled by a web-based platform from a phone or a tablet.

The completed project showcases Warren Construction Group’s expertise in custom residential construction, modern architecture, and high-performance building practices. The result is a one-of-a-kind home that balances innovative design, structural ingenuity, and lasting craftsmanship.
