DIAGRAM RELATIVE TO LANDSCAPE IN PLAN VIEW
Transformation
Keeping the public and private living similar, but enhancing the space for flow of light, air and sound travel throughout house. Leaving the first floor intact, transforming second floor and roof plan to geometrically match slope of landscape; determined from the site plan and the sloped pitch elevation from west to east. The roof slants from west to east as the south edge rises above north. Bedroom bay windows angle towards the ocean as it is slightly stretched in transforming the overhang platform to a balcony. The corridor wall stays the same height allowing the flow to the penetrating ceiling. The design becomes asymmetrical and relates to the landscape.
