Hillside House
The southern facade faces an extensive lawn sloping to the golf course and views of wooded piedmont hills beyond. Hillside nestles into the natural contours of the site stepping down from the living areas with "trays" comprised of the lounging deck, social patio, lap pool then lawn.
Extensive eaves provide passive solar shading of living area and bedroom south-facing, view-oriented glazing. Rain chains direct roof runoff to stone filled collectors and an underground site drainage system. No gutters on this house!
Extensive eaves shelter living area and bedroom view oriented glazing.

Could this be the concept of extending our outdoor space beyond the edge of the slope
