The design for this handsome house bears unusually close relationship to its site: a small, wooded and rocky outcropping overlooking Long Island Sound. The plan is divided into a series of levels with the lower ones fitted into the terrain and designed with heavy masonry walls for a sense of shelter. This area generally contains service areas and guest bedrooms. The upper, and main, level rests lightly above this in a series of "penthouse gardens and levels" to take full advantage of the views.
