The linear house has been designed to tuck itself into the southern hill of the sloping lot. High south facing gable windows located above the clearstory kitchen allow for the southern sun to penetrate the interiors without sacrificing privacy to the close proximity of the neighboring home. Skylights are also located on the south facing roof structure.

The multi level open first floor plan is designed for entertaining. The circular turreted entry element calls out to visitors arriving on the long articulated driveway. The master suite, located on the southwestern corner of the home, is buffeted from the public spaces by a walk-in-closet and laundry room.

The lower level spaces have been located to afford them total grade access. Utilitarian functions have been located at the back of the building and subgrade to the existing grade.

A multi level circular deck and stairs connects the public and private areas to the rolling landscape site. A screen porch allows the occupants an area to enjoy the natural surrounding of the woods and nearby stream.
