the layout of the residence is made to allow light to wash over the concrete surface. this exposes the subtlety of the material and the piece’s slight curves. because if the location, the public areas were placed on beams, exposing them to the landscape. the more private rooms tuck into the ground, making them easily accessible yet partially removed from the rest of the structure.
