Great view showing the roof configuration and the important 'clerestory' windows. An effective solution for north facing orientations.

Steep Slope #3

Along a convex curved topo line: Designs #3, #4 assume a curved topo and respond with an "L'  shape design. A footprint of any angle that best corresponds to a topo convex plan curve  is possible, but construction gets more complicated with angled construction- particularly odd angles. Designs #3 and #4 use a 90 degree base angle with limited and controlled 45 degree connections between the 2  wings. Not so complicated. The advantage to these 2 designs compared with the preceding linear designs are that they enjoy views -and light penetration-in the 2 directions which adds some texture to the whole living experience. This design is an 'L' shape sequel to design #1.

Pier and support: Footings and masonry piers up to the floor deck show this design under the house construction. The bigger angled pier under the fireplace location a lateral load resistance solution.  Wood posts and braces are showing under the deck constructions- so a hybrid system.
