Johnston Marklee & Associates - EE.UU.

El diseño de la casa capitaliza esas restricciones del terreno y de la reglamentación edilicia como una oportunidad para tallar formas y espacios, en apariencia caprichosos, que son meros resultantes de encajar el edificio en los límites reglamentarios.

The Hill House is designed under conditions generated by modern problems of building on the hillside. The site, an irregular shaped lot situated on an uneven downhill slope, offers panoramic views of Santa Monica Canyon. The design of the house utilizes the restriction of hillside and zoning ordinance to create a spatial and structural opportunity - adopting the zoning envelope as a building form. The dynamic form minimizes distinction between roof and wall planes while maximizing interior and exterior.
