UPON FIRST WALKING THE SITE WITH OUR ADVENTUROUS CLIENTS WE WERE IMMEDIATELY DRAWN TO THE LARGE EXPOSED GRANITE  ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.  LOOKING CRITICALLY AT THE GEOLOGIC FORMATION, THE DISCUSSION GREW ORGANICALLY, NOT UNLIKE THE FINAL PRODUCT, FROM THE EARTH BENEATH OUR FEET AND THE VISCERAL DESIRE TO ELEVATE OUR POSITION ABOVE THAT EARTH. 

ARCHITECTURALLY, EACH FLOOR PLATE TAKES ITS CUES FROM THE ADJACENT LANDSCAPE ON THE EXTERIOR AND THE INTEGRAL PROGRAM ON THE INTERIOR TO TRANSFORM INTO A UNIQUE SET OF 4 LIVING SPACES.  STACKED, NOT UNLIKE THE GRANITE MONOLITHS ON SITE, THE HOME GROWS VERTICALLY OUT OF THE STEEP SLOPE.  GARAGE, STORAGE, GYM AND OFFICE SPACES ARE SET INTO THE HILLSIDE WHILE LIVING, ENTERTAINING AND BEDROOM SPACES LOFT OVER THE DOWNSLOPE.

TRADITIONALLY CHARRED CEDAR SIDING SET AT PERPENDICULAR PATTERNS FURTHER HIGHLIGHTS THE AGGREGATED NATURE AND LAYERED SIMPLICITY OF THE HOMES EVOLUTION OVER TIME.
