The simple but extreme extrusion of a hipped roof creates a monumental plane, the geometry of which is inflected back into the form and wood-frame structure of the house along lines perpendicular to the extruded line of the roof.

The formal manipulation of the house’s extruded roof creates a hybrid between the typologies of a modernist box and a traditional pitched roof.

The continuous open space that results from this collision is inflected over a steep incline that creates novel spatial patterns of domestic privacy by controlling a visitor’s line of sight.
