Turner Residence

A plinth and a pavilion. Nestled into the hillside, the long,
solid plinth contains the private rooms of the house. Atop this
plinth sits a transparent living and dining pavilion that opens
up completely for access to the outdoor decks, pool patio and
expansive views to Mount Tamalpais and the bay. An elegant
structural solution allows the views to be uninterrupted
by perimeter sheer walls. The majority of the site is left
undeveloped with its forest of native oaks intact.
