When we shared our interview with Stanley Saitowitz, design principle of Natoma Architects Inc., earlier this week on AD, we promised to share his latest works. For his Pine Mountain Road weekend residence, Saitowitz creates “an elemental architecture of column and roof, a man made grove of habitation.”
Situated on a hilltop overlooking the wooded areas of California, the residence is organized around a field of columns on an 18′ grid continuing the “dense trunkscape found on the site”. Two walls are constructed to protect the square and isolated the three interior pavilions. The three pavilions cater to the main living space, the master suite, and a guest suite. In addition to these three elements, a pool completes the square.
