So...a single level home on a down-sloping lot? No problem. Provide minimal concrete foundation elements near the street-side of the home and support the remaining footprint on a steel column and beam system, while at the same time preserving natural rock outcroppings and a mature ponderosa pine. A steel-grated bridge leads from the street / driveway to the home entry. Interiors boast an abundance of natural light and expansive views of the surrounding high desert environment.
