The house sits on 6 acres of land, but is only a little more than 1,000 sq. ft., which is enough to provide a comfortable setting for the family to enjoy the nature of the site. What makes this house unique is the simplicity of the form which is essentially 4 volumes.  The three base volumes are all clad in ground faced concrete block inside and outside, and contain the support spaces of the house.  The fourth volume is clad in metal and sits on top of the 3 concrete block volumes to enclose the main living space of the house.  The oversized mahogany wood windows complete the enclosure between the concrete block volumes.
