| The
approach to the house is via a ½ mile road that winds
its way up a hill. This terminates in a transitional
courtyard. A trellis covered path leads from this
courtyard to the main entrance. The sequence of entrance
is deliberate. The front door is not immediately visible
upon approaching the house, but the entry passage is
clear. This entry passages rises gently, and the space
becomes more compressed both vertically and horizontally
as one approaches the main door. As one nears the main
door, a view through the house is given onto the main
view of a small ravine. The intention is that this
sequence defines the man-made spaces, but integrates them
into the natural environment. The approach to the house is via a ½ mile road that winds its way up a hill. This terminates in a transitional courtyard.
