We are lucky to design homes in some of the most beautiful settings. Our Southern Reach Residence is currently under construction, overlooking Lake Wakatipu on New Zealand’s South Island.

Heliotrope Abroad: Türkiye 🇹🇷

Recently, one of our architects traveled to Türkiye, a country where centuries of history, rich cultural traditions, vibrant colors, and diverse architectural styles come together to create a truly unique sense of place. From historic landmarks to intricate details, textures, and patterns, Türkiye offers a wealth of inspiration that reflects the depth of its cultural heritage and the evolution of its architecture.

At Heliotrope, we believe that experiencing places firsthand broadens our perspective and deepens our understanding of the world around us. Sharing these journeys and discoveries with our team allows us to bring new influences into our collective design process, fostering a greater appreciation for the cultures, histories, and traditions that shape the built environment.

Compression creates contrast. Nestled within a narrow opening in the madrone and fir forest, this Buck Mountain home heightens the water views beyond. A quiet dialogue between enclosure and openness, rooted in the landscape and floating above the canopy.
