The rolling hillside site of this house affords a variety of views and a landscape interlaced with fieldstone walls. The house, garage, and pool are located just below the highest point and are organized around an east-west axis that bisects the house and runs out into site as a bounding wall. A perpendicular approach leads into the house from which spectacular views abound to the northwest and northeast through undulating glass walls.
Unlike the Smith (1965) and Douglas (1975) houses, to which it is otherwise related, this house does not face in any primary direction. Instead the parti consists of two more or less rectangular volumes that slide past each other in an east-west direction on either side of a top-lit stair hall that runs parallel to the same axis.
In contrast to the fully glazed living volume, the kitchen, study, and the intimate spaces on the upper levels are all enclosed in heavyweight masonry walls pierced by corner windows and relatively small openings. These walls relate in scale, color, and texture to the existing fieldstone works on the site.
Contrasting the three-story private wing, the curvilinear metal and glass enclosure of the public space flows up past a suspended mezzanine floor to culminate in a series of overlapping roof terraces that run along the northern face of the house.

这座房子的山坡位置提供了各种景观和与石墙交织的景观。房子、车库和游泳池位于最高点的正下方,围绕着一个东西向的轴线排列,将房子分开,并在场地上延伸形成一堵分界墙。垂直的通道从正面通向房子,从那里可以看到透过波动的玻璃墙向西北和东北方向的壮丽景色。
与史密斯(1965)和道格拉斯(1975)的房子有所不同,这座房子没有朝任何主要方向定位。代替的是,墙体由两个左右相邻的近似矩形的体量组成,位于一个沿着同一轴线平行的照明楼梯室两侧。
与完全采用玻璃的主体积相比,厨房、工作室和上层私密空间被封闭在由角落窗和相对较小的开口穿孔的重质石墙内。这些墙体在比例、颜色和纹理上与场地上现有的石工作品相关。
与三层的私人翼相对,公共空间的金属和玻璃曲线围合物向上流动,通过一个悬挂的夹层,最终在房子北侧形成一系列重叠的屋顶露台。
“我想做很多事情。问题是,有哪些事情是你认为自己能做好的,与自己有关的,哪些基本上永远不能成为建筑?有很多事情属于这个类别,但我试图用新的角度看待每一件事,并问自己:“这是可以成为建筑作品的东西吗?”,或者当所有事情都做完了,不管花了多少汗水,你会对它感到满意。这只有在你的职业生涯发展到一定程度之后才能真正知道。你只有在进行时才知道。
