the entrance pavilion resides above the land and acts as a beacon, an architectural abstraction of patricia's sculptural works. affected by humans, the natural skin is crumpled and twisted, creating a discreet entrance. on entry, you are met with an untouchable view of the house ahead, but are lead down twisted stairs forcing your momentum to overlap, relinquishing your grasp of orientation.

moving through the peeling threshold to the house, views and paths slowly unveil. stairs to the left guide you to a private mezzanine for rest and reflection. formed from rammed earth, the deep retaining wall anchors the bed and reading cave, both embracing lateral views. 

below is the kitchen, internal dining and lounge, all formed from a single black matte plastic extrusion which echos the movement of land disrupted. this joinery pierces the curved glazing to form an outdoor dinning space. the outdoor space was inspired by centeral errosion, creating two structures whos dialouge is formally controlled. to maintain pristine views for all spaces, patricias work pavilion rises above and frames the panoramic mountain ranges afar.

where the land has been sliced, the building grows ; a cicatrice.
