Each of the four characters are accessed from a bright, double-height atrium and projecting stair covered by an oversize glass skylight. The exterior materials are stacked: metal siding and panels of zinc above for the walls, roof and inset windows of each bedroom, and Japanese charred wood, and cedar siding at their base. These materials find moments where they fold inside the house. The windows also have double formats. At ground level they pop-out over the landscaping, then recede above for privacy at each bedroom.

A soft light reflects from the simple palette of interior surfaces: charred and cedar wood, white plaster, and cedar floors.
