This small concrete villa is submerged into a hillside in Woodland Hills, CA. Upon approach, the house appears as a bridge spanning two large cylinders, pierced by a large tree which extends through the roofline. By incorporating the tree and nestling into the terrain, the house hybridizes the interior and exterior, becoming both a vessel for the landscape and an object within it. A long narrow plan unfolds as a sequence of distinctly shaped indoor and outdoor rooms that are connected by a corridor lined with concealed storage. The central courtyard stretches the house’s footprint, creating an elongated volume oriented towards a view of the San Gabriel mountains. The roof of the structure includes a pool, kitchen, dining area, lounging area, and cantilevered lookout. The building is 1,200 SF of interior space, but arranges the exterior space to take full advantage of the Los Angeles climate, essentially doubling the living area.
