Designed for a family of three, Kaweah Rockhouse is meant to be a sanctuary with eyes open to the expansive north views, from Mount Wilson to Eagle Rock Historical Landmark, in which neighborhood the owner was born and raised.

Sitting on a steep hillside, with a narrow frontage of less than 12 meter wide that opens up to more than 24 meter wide in the rear, the house gently touches the ground with a minimal footprint of 70 m2 to accommodate 220 m2 of three bedroom two and a half bath program into two stories with an attached garage on top connected by a bridge driveway to the street.

The upper level living area, including the kitchen and dining, opens directly onto the view deck on one end, while the other end open to a high volume family room below, which connects the upper level living area to the lower level private bedrooms and bathrooms.
