Description:

To cover this home from its tough neighbors a rack was cut into the tight cut of prairie situated between a frontage road on one side and the precarious slants of the West Coast on the other. The tough area stretches out as a green rooftop over the underground divides of the home-ending on the delicately bended top of the lounge room.

All utilities, including the 5000 gallon water stockpiling tank, were put in underground in request to protect the encompassing scene.
