The public areas of the living, dining and kitchen take shape as a glass box opening out to the view and decks. To further accentuate the glass box, the structural frame is pulled to the exterior of the glass wall allowing the walls to be primarily glass.

Large roof overhangs provide protection to the glass wall from both the elements and direct sunlight in the summer months. The private areas are recessed into to hillside and are more solid in massing. They also have smaller windows and lower ceiling heights.

The interstitial space contains the entry, vertical circulation and a small office. A large continuous shed roof gathers the three spaces into one form.
