The low-slung form and reserved palette help the house better blend in with the carefully curated surrounding natural landscape - intended to create a feeling that the home is both deeply rooted in and delicately hovering over the site. Taking that intention further, we balance two main wings across a naturally occurring ravine that, with landscaping, creates the feeling of a creek bed under the central elevated wings.

Secondary structures create an enclosed bridge between the kitchen and living room, with a suspended deck running through the living room and primary suite, to create shortcuts within the larger circulation paths of the main wings.
