The house on the cusp of a fold in the Hollywood hills identifies the differential complexity of the steep hillside as its functional and formal generator. The stark, rigid appearance enters a dialogue with the landscape, define itself as a real object through the process of alienating its context. The restrictions imposed by the planning and building regulations provided strenuous challenges to the project as it pushed the building downhill, over the ridge. Height and viewshed restrictions, provided for a narrow and steeped profile for the building, particularly on the entry façade.
