Two-level contemporary single-family residence sited in the on a 31,363 square foot plot of land in a hillside community.

The layout, function, program, and materiality of the home echo a theme of transparency and flexibility. Flat, expansive roofs create deep overhangs that unify interior and exterior while utilizing passive means of heating and cooling.

The home is comprised of two rectangular masses perpendicular to the slope of the site. One of these bar-like masses contains the social, entertaining, and culinary functions of interior space.  The more exterior bar is an extruded roof plane, jutting over a patio, deck, and outdoor lounge space. The main mass of the house is anchored to the site by the garage that includes the utilitarian, storage, and service areas. The second level is the master bedroom, placed in an expanded rectilinear layout in which the vertical walls are clad in retractable, wood screens that open to the descending canyon and valley below.
