House of Horizontal Light
A cantilever house where one broad roof plane and long ribbon windows set the horizon line.

- Two visualizations and the original study
Interpretation
The line drawing studies a corner: a banded solid box, stacked glazed volumes and a broad flat roof that projects past the walls below.
Ribbon windows and tall, narrow openings set a rhythm across both elevations, and the entry stair sits in the shade of the overhang.
Visualizations
Alternative visualization, a closer corner view.
The original
The pen drawing is the original study. Both visualizations interpret it in cream stucco, board-formed concrete and glass; their geometry differs from the drawing and from each other.
