This home is on a steeply sloping lot, presenting a difficult design exercise. The home is lower than the street, making it appear to be sinking into the ground. The entry sequence is carefully controlled, through a wood gate and down into a garden and across a bridge, over a pond, to finally enter the home. This will draw the visitor down to the front door by offering a series of controlled views, providing an exciting and interesting way to approach the home. Inside the home will be a mixture of steel and rough timbers for a warm modern style. Large windows are provided to showcase the views. The four car garage is buried underground to provide plenty of auto storage without exceeding the allowable building area for the lot.
