This new house is sited on a north-facing ridge overlooking the Dry
Creek Valley. The house orchestrates the occupation of the landscape by
navigating across and around the ridge in plan and section.
Considerations for severe environmental conditions of sun and wind
inform the language of the protective, undulating roof. All rooms open
to the outdoors, reinforcing the primary relationship to the landscape. A
large deck and continuous exterior walkways create outdoor rooms and
circulation paths which expand the experience of the interior.
Additional site design includes a new pool, spa, outdoor shower, olive
orchard and bocce ball court.
