On the ground view shows a quiet understated architecture. The interior opens the experience up.

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 #2.

Piers and main floor support system: Footings and masonry piers to just above grade are conventional. Support 'posts' are 6x6 and 4x6 wood posts positioned to offer that lateral stability. Fair to say that the this stable post construction requires some care in initial positioning and bracing during construction before the floor deck gets placed. Renting a proper sized crane would likely be a no-brainer investment for placing those posts and prime beams.
