Photographs of four design development drawings of the house. These hardline drawings were produced after the completion of the construction of the formwork for the foundation works, ensuring that all trees of the site were preserved and the house volumes connected perfectly with the shape of the sloping land, its trees and views. Dimensions on the plans equal the precise measurements of the foundation works as constructed.
