PROJECT description:
The project features a three-story single-family residence complemented by an attached two-car garage and two additional uncovered parking spaces. The exterior program includes a swimming pool, deck, driveway, outdoor stairs, and carefully articulated hardscaping elements.
Architecturally, the composition is organized into four distinct yet interconnected volumes. Each volume retains functional independence while establishing visual and physical connections through bridging elements, fostering fluid circulation and spatial dialogue.
Responding thoughtfully to the sloping mountain terrain, the volumes are strategically positioned across varying elevations. The roof planes follow the natural incline, minimizing environmental disturbance and preserving unobstructed sightlines to the surrounding landscape.

“The design comprises four distinct yet intimately connected volumes. Each maintains a degree of functional autonomy while visually and spatially linked to its neighbors through a series of bridging elements, fostering seamless interaction between the separate parts.”
“The design thoughtfully responds to the sloping mountain topography by distributing volumes across varying elevations. Roof angles are carefully aligned with the natural incline, reducing environmental impact while maximizing the preservation of surrounding sightlines.”
