The design separates the enclosed area into two small structures; a living/ sleeping pavilion, and a separate kitchen. With the steeply sloped hillside they enclose an outdoor living room.
This is a good example of climate and situation appropriate design, enticing the residents to live with the outdoors under the (mostly) fantastic weather in this canyon's rural setting.
