This three bedroom house is designed for a single-family residence with one bedroom rental suite. The unique terrain and site constraints have influenced both the physical appearance and functionality of the house. Spectacular views from the street level must be maintained.

The house features a terraced house, harmonizing with the natural contours of the hillside. Providing an off-street access and parking for residents and tenants. Local materials, are used to clad the building, ensuring it blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment and complies with conservation area guidelines.
The most distinctive feature of the house is its positioning below street level, providing an unusual and captivating aspect. This arrangement not only enhances privacy but also offers an intriguing and secluded experience for both the residents and potential Airbnb guests. The one-bedroom suite, dedicated to the Airbnb rental, is thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort and convenience while taking advantage of the picturesque hillside setting. It has its own access and external terrace space.

In summary, this stone house with parking deck located on the roof of the building, ingeniously integrates into its steep hillside location without obstructing views from the street. Its tiered structure, use of local materials, and the inclusion of an Airbnb rental unit make it a unique and harmonious addition to the neighbourhood while providing an extraordinary living experience.
