By understating the structure a balanced relationship has been established between house, pool, sky and view. In this project, a happy combination of site, soil, height and location combined to suggest a solution in which it was possible to take advantage of all elements without the necessity of compromising the design.
The house by virtue of its uninterrupted glass walls and an umbrella of steel decked roof, extending beyond the building line, provides a vast expanse of covered area. Exposed steel wall decking is used to obtain privacy at the street entrance. Otherwise, the plate glass walls continue, except for slender supporting steel columns and sliding door frames, around the perimeter of the house. Major units, such as the fireplace and kitchen cabinets, are disengaged from the exterior walls and are free-standing units.
