Past Forward:
• Site strategy resolves program while respecting scale & form of neighboring bungalows
• From street, a single-story house on a concrete foundation
• Upon entering site, a retaining wall that establishes a flat site for the two-story residence

Economy:
• Minimize construction details (costs)
• Exterior siding always wood
• Interior walls always gypsum wallboard
• Standard wood framing, pre-manufactured trusses
• All windows are the same size
• Priority reserved for special moments, such as the steel stair and footbridge
