A new home fills an abandoned cut in a serpentine rock face, its garden roof extends the grade of the neighboring parcel on the cliff above.  Together, both properties form a continuous domestic landscape for an extended, multi-generational family.

The reciprocal to the roof garden is a grotto-like swimming pool set 30-feet down into the rock and day-lit by fissures between house and cliff.  Between the garden and the grotto is a relaxed 3-bedroom home made of textured concrete, steel, walnut and glass.
