The entry space flows with the landscape, guiding visitors
along a reaching sidewalk that extends under the mass of
the building. The compression of the resulting space offers
a unique arrival experience incorporating the natural creek
just beyond the front door, which is nestled on the second
floor. Following the existing creek, the front stairs create
an arching path to a bridged entry portal, all the while
showcasing panoramic views of the house. As the front door
opens, the dark, angular façade of paneled concrete gives
way to a light-filled interior of softwood and bright white
finishes. Upon entering, visitors find themselves within an
indoor/outdoor living space. Once inside the residence,
stairs descend to a private screening room or ascend to the
third-floor living spaces.
