项目场址的特色是尽管它被稠密的城市开发包围着，但它本身拥有着一种遥远的感觉和，周围有很多成熟的树木。当这样的自然环境出现在洛杉矶的时候，这就是一个非比寻常的悖论，因为洛杉矶这个城市以它那无止境的蔓延状况和拥挤的交通而闻名于世。项目的目标是保留有实际用处的自然地物--即使着意味着有一棵树会从住宅的中间穿过。陡峭的山坡使得住宅可以被设计成悬臂的形式，从而将对地基的需求降到最低。

这种悬臂的形式同样为植物尽可能多的保留了天然的庭院空间。为了保持这种隐私，住宅被设置在了场址中央的附近，目的是在住宅和其他诸如公路和住宅等毗邻条件之间创造出一个缓冲区域。住宅被构想成了位于一个屋顶下的两个分开的单元的形式。住宅主要的部分是两间卧室，它们是为一个四口之家设计的。另一个组成部分通过一个户外的过道与主要部分隔开，这个部分设备齐全，有一间卧室、一个起居区域、一间盥洗室和一个厨房。

The site is characterized by its remote feeling and mature trees; this despite being surrounded by dense urban development.  It is an unusual paradox to have such a natural setting that occurs in the middle of Los Angeles – a city known for its endless sprawl and crawling traffic. The goal was to preserve the natural features where practical – even if this meant having a tree grow through the house.  The steep hillside allows the house to cantilever as a design solution to minimize foundations.

This act of cantilevering also preserves as much native yard space as possible for planting.To maintain privacy, the house is located close to the center of the lot to create a buffer between it – and other adjoining conditions such as a public street and other houses. The house is conceived as two separate units under one roof.  The main part of the house is two bedrooms and is designed for a family of four.  The other component – separated by an outdoor breezeway –  is self-contained with one bedroom, a living area, a bathroom, and a kitchen.
