The cantilevered structure of the Concrete House responds to the zoning and physical contraints of the ravine site and to the owners’ requirements to connect indoor and outdoor spaces.
The footprint of the lower floor is minimized to maintain the setback from the stable top of slope while the middle volume extends towards the ravine, placing the main living spaces within the treetops. Board formed concrete is the predominant finish in the house and is achieved through a system of cast in place concrete sandwich panels which allows the entire wall assembly to be completedin in a single casting.
