A group of pavilions sits beneath a circular roof around an open courtyard. The rooms step with the terrain, balancing shared spaces with private rooms oriented toward the forest, mountains, and ocean.

Covered circulation connects the pavilions. The proposal combines larch structure and shingles with rammed earth and a copper roof, giving the house a common material language while allowing each room a distinct relationship to the site.
