Located above the coast of Malibu, this residence is organized as a series of habitable spaces or viewing nodes oriented along an adjoining circulation spine. All of the rooms and spaces are either directly connected to the hillside or have access to a series of roof decks. Another series of terraced decks containing the swimming pool and planters descend with the topography, connecting the house to the downhill landscape. The nodes utilize glass and steel curtain walls, with articulated and tactile wood-framed openings at doors and operable windows, to act as viewing panes that flatten the distant landscape and ocean views.
