# Wooden Site Home OFfices Swatt + Partners Create the Moss Rock Design Project By Amy Duong | Published 2025-04-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-rock References: [swattpartners](https://www.swattpartners.com/)  Local architecture firm [Swatt + Partners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lagoon-view-residence) has used two concrete slabs placed in a vertical position to support a glass structure framed by wood for the [Moss Rock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-objects) project. It floats over the landscape and functions as a serene home office resting on a rural property in Healdsburg. The area features a dense forest and the property has a two-storey home as the owners wanted to add a [home office separate from the residence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-job). The team explained the design project, "The new structure is a crisp, wood-framed glass box that hovers just above the flat portion while it soars above the down-sloping topography on the southwest corner of the building." It is supported by a set of concrete core elements that are vertically placed and cast in its position.
