Description
With the Erving house in Montecito, the goal was to provide privacy for the owner and a view up towards the mountains and down to the ocean. Riggs achieved this by designing a large triangular wall of glass facing north (towards the mountains) and a similar, but smaller wall of glass facing south, with a large roof overhang, to protect the interior of the house from direct sunlight. A large fireplace divides the main room into living and dining without blocking the views in either direction.
