A multi-axis ranch house under a large gabled roof
This single-story home sits at the junction of three roads in a housing development in the hilly outskirts of a town. In order to avoid creating an oppressive presence in the neighborhood, the architects kept the height of the eaves on the large gabled roof low. Rooms are laid out beneath this roof so as to take advantage of the irregular lot and its height differentials. Through the use of floor heights that vary according to the elevation of the lot, the oddly shaped leftover spaces within the structure become part of an interior that is richly varied both vertically and horizontally, and that blends seamlessly into its surroundings.
