Home Featured In New York Times

Profiled in the New York Times.
Says Pilar Viladas in the article, "Seen in profile, perched on a hillside overlooking the ocean in Southern California, this house looks almost birdlike, with outstretched wings and a long tail. The wings turn out to be the upswept roof of the main living areas, and the tail is the roof of a long passage that leads from the front door. Though the roof lines are entirely functional, for the house’s architect, Tom Kundig, the avian analogy is an apt one. Kundig, a partner in the Seattle firm Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen, says that he wanted the house to be “a small building that landed lightly on the landscape,” much like the raptors he had seen hovering over the hills."
Indeed!
