In the mountain of Mt. Baldy lies a 600 square foot residence for a Japanese file maker to use as vacation house. The house is on a hillside, cantilevering over a valley. Movement from the exterior to the interior occurs around the natural patterned facade. As one descends down the mountain into the residence, the circulation leads through programs as a journey from livng to all the way to the bedroom caved under the ground. The lofted work space is not designed as part of the journey to avoid to work in the vacation but not to be limited. The design concept is based on function of plant parts as diagramed.

SITE PLAN SCALE: 1/32" = 1'-0"
The house landed in the valley of Mt. Baldy. It partially sits into the mountain and partially cantilevered over the valley to avoid the flood. The central core of the house holds the circulation around it and creates a movement of daily routine. From entering the home from the private path/stairs to sleep at caved-in bedroom, the client can rest at living room, dine at platform viewing room which has 270 degree of view, and sleep in the light-limited bedroom. The bathroom is hiden core and connected and serves to all areas. The floor and roof planes are splitted leveled and integrated to each other to create multiple spaces.
