A mountain site with a dramatic drop off demanded a dynamic approach to this 4 bedroom residence. The rear of the house is perched on 4 sets of stilts descending down the slope, and the concentric barrel vault roofs sweep down to meet them above the living room. The glu-lam structure was carried into the interior of the home to allow for sweeping windows and a modern expression of the architecture.
