This three-bedroom house is for a cinematographer and his wife, a psychologist, who are at an age where they want to work less…so a cost-effective, sustainable house is paramount. They are both fans of mid-century modern architecture and the Case Study houses.
The site is a wooded hillside oriented slightly west of south, ideal for solar collection. The plan itself is a simple rectilinear form, which rests on a foundation that emerges from the hillside to provide light and views for the rooms under the house.
