The Oak Pass main house sits on the top of a 3.5 acre ridge site with panoramic canyon views.  There are over 130 protected Oak trees on the property.  The house was sited to take advantage of the views without the house becoming a central visual focus.  The massing was reduced by utilizing an “upside down” program with the public spaces located above the bedrooms, which are buried into the hill and protected beneath a vegetated roof.  A lower level courtyard allows light and air to flow to the buried hallway of the bedroom level.  A seventy five foot long lap pool with infinity edges on three of four sides, bisects the house and slips beneath one of the largest oaks on the property.  The house is primarily constructed of structural concrete allowing for long, column free spans.
