Callow Residence, Corsini Stark Architects, organized the site into functional bands of varying widths running north-south and overlaid a pattern of alternating angled walls and roof lines to shape space and direct view and movement from the site and through the house.

Since the site offered no obvious desirable views, courtyards, a south-oriented deck, and rear garden serve as focal points framing the sky, existing and new tree canopies, and the play of light wherever possible.

The entire site is engaged in the architectural composition. The plan is bilaterally symmetrical with an upward spiral progression around the entry courtyard, leading to the upturned cantilevered roof. The angular and folding form language of the house reads alternately planar and volumetric. 1st Floor Plan
