Agarwal Residence

Set against a retaining hillside in Aamby Valley, this vacation home stacks three storeys of living against the slope, with cantilevered decks reaching for the valley views.

A double-height living room sits under cathedral-effect skylights; a floating glass bridge crosses it, washing the room with diffused daylight. White stucco, wooden louvers and large glazed openings keep the architecture in Meier's lineage – purity of form, light as the principal material.
