The Split Box House tackles a challenging steep site and inserts a sustainable minimalist house that works with the existing topography to create a tranquil indoor and outdoor living environment. Diagrammed as a series of logical steps: Box, Cut, Split, Rotate, Site. The buildings form is created as an understandable evolution of this process. It simplifies and codifies the complex consideration of each major design decision bringing a clarity to how the architecture is expressed. It is not about a grand gesture or historical reference, but instead is about communicating a series of solutions.
