The Hillside House
A Welcoming Entry
The car is the primary form of approach to the house. Extending the walk beyond the threshold is that clue to approach.
A Simple Entrance
An Entry can offer an experience of a site… A place to pause an realize why people chose that site to make their home.
The order of the house can be simultaneously private and inviting.
Public and Private
The planning of the house provides the opportunity to separate the public entry from the private gathering space.
The western view is the focus of the the outdoor gathering spaces. In the morning the view is to what is illuminated. In the evening the view is to the sunset over the adjacent farm.
Space is About Feelings
Space is about feelings. Small spaces can be designed to feel large and large spaces can feel claustrophobic.
