Plan 4934

Especially designed for a sloping site, this house is a truly palatial retreat. It features a house-wide, roof-high wall of glass that opens the house to a view of sea or mountains. Inside, the fireplace-focussed living room is two stories high and opens onto the terrace through four sliding glass doors. The placement of children's bedrooms on the lower floor near a spacious playroom with direct access to the out-of-doors circumvents noisy traffic through the rest of the house. The second floor kitchen has a pass-through snack bar for the combination family-dining room.
