Xeros

The Xeros residence is sited within a late 1950's era neighborhood upon the upward slope of a 50'x250' double lot facing the mountain preserve to the north with the city center to the south. The building includes a two-story lower level design studio that descends down into the earth. A single story residence exists above the studio that is accessed solely by an external staircase. The primary building material is exposed steel that is allowed to weather naturally and meld with the color of the surrounding hills.
