The
building was framed in Douglas fir and clad in sheets of corrugated galvanized
steel and exposed plywood. The steel roof, following the slope of the hillside,
tilts steeeply from a thirty-foot height at one corner to ten feet on the
diagonal corner. A twenty by twenty foot central skylight and carefully
positioned windows frame views of the sky, ocean, and surrounding hillsides.
Two poured-concrete terraces bracket the house on opposite sides. The siting
is such that the building is always approached obliquely. |
