According to a feature in this
year's Architectural
Record Houses, the architect was faced with a budget of
only $150,000 for a roughly 2,000 square foot house, equaling
spending of less than $10/sf, a staggering situation for the
architect. Certainly, by following the 33-degree slope so
literally, money was saved on excavation. Furthermore, glazing
was used selectively for overhead
light and mountain views,
and the palette was kept to a minimum, apparent in the interior
photographs. But if dollar signs have any relationship
to experience, this house shows that the former need not be
high to increase the latter. |
