Set on a sloping site above Smiths Lake this weekender is divided into living and sleeping pavilions stepping down the site and connected by a butterfly roof covered stair. Fire protection sprinklers also cool the house when needed with collected rainwater.

The covered entry stair leads to the outdoor living space under the flying roof
