The architect describes the home as a 'flower in the forest,'' with two major rooflines sloping upward to the north and south like petals to capture sunlight and direct rainwater into lower-level cisterns (the roots), while the central greenhouse (the stamen) supports plant life and light within the home. Very large high windows on each side of a gas fireplace greet those entering the home, along with spectacular views of ponderosa pines and the ever-changing skyline.
