The name ‘Echo’ expresses connections with the past – a mini sawmill that existed in place of the house. The architects have preserved the character of industrial building. As a result, we have not a typical home exterior, but a bold private dwelling in a factory shell.
Because of the weathering steel prevalent on its surface, the Echo House resembles a red planet. It’s Mars on the Earth. With rocks, a giant artificial pool and Japanese garden instead of canyons, dry lakes and craters.
