palmetto way residence

single-family custom residence | mission hills | san diego.ca | 2005 | for ARCHITECTS hgw

A house is shelter, a human invention to provide security.

This house’s shelter is a meandering stone wall that defines an inclusive [public - in front] and exclusive realms [private - behind].  It meanders up, down, below, above and around to define rooms.

Once the wall is penetrated [front door], the house unfolds to a dramatic canyon view.
