Features:
- Stepped foundation up to 12’ drop over 8’ length
- 12’ high foundation wall (10” thick) on the South-West wall.
- 24’ high vaulted roof over Living Room / Kitchen area in the Main Floor
- Seismic Force Resisting System: Combination of wood shearwalls and two steel rigid frames with welded connections
- Large openings on the exterior walls
- A huge Mezzanine Floor over the attached Garage overlooking the mountain through the open space over Living Room
