"A bridge like, cantilevered, elevated floor deck supported on 14 larch laminated timber poles at the base of the banked landscape along the existing contours. The principle structure is composed of larch laminated diamond trusses with the diagonal members jutting out with flitch plate connections to the poles, reflecting the form of the banked landscaping. The curvilinear plan form reinforces the interaction between landscape and building following the terrain. Roofed in cedar shingles with translucent and transparent facades; blurs the landscape edges into the buildings interior spaces."
