On a steep hillside overlooking Yarrow Bay, the interlocking forms of this house intersect in the two-story living space, joined together at a skylight and by a bridge between the two forms. The steel framed bridge supports a walkway of cast glass, connecting the master bedroom with childrens' rooms.
The L-shaped opening in this tall space extends from the front door at bottom to the underside of the wood ceiling. A turn at the top creates a clerestory expanse over the solid wall; the latter is the interior expression of an exterior wall and roof in front of this facade. It's a complex assemblage that is made more complex by the articulation of the mullions and the door itself, which has an L-shaped pattern on it.
One last view of the house looks back at the front door from atop the stairs. The architects took advantage of the topography and stepped profile to create a double-height living space with a bridge.
