Situtated on a 4% grade, the house is impressed into the topography's slope. The ground is leveled into programmatic terraces by tamping and stablizing the soil with impregnated binders. Found aggregates are used to further stablize the ground, the erratica gives each space distinction. Rooms are defined by ground left at the 4% grade, a top of which is its found condition, fallen logs, limestone boulders, and indigenous plantings run continuous through the house left as they were, undisturbed.

The house is concieved of as a two distinct building systems, one dense and organic, the second, ultra-lightweight. At the point of the original line of the site's slope, the house toggles between these systems. It transitions from the dense rammed soil to a lightweight aluminum frame system that filters light in and defines rooms enclosures. Part of this system is a hyperlight ETFE roof system, that maximizes natural filtered light.
