Program: A 3,500-square-foot single family home sited on 3 acres.
Design concept and solution: Two distinct volumes clad in concrete, masonry, and glass differentiate public space from private space in this steel-framed residence; both offer views of the surrounding river and mountains. The private upper volume cantilevers 17 feet beyond the lower public volume. The lower level includes a 10-foot entrance alley for the owner’s tropical trees, and is topped with a green roof, which provides insulation, absorbs storm water, and creates a landscaped view for the second–story spaces.
