CHERRY CABINETRY AND GRANITE COUNTERS INTO THE KITCHEN WHERE THEY BECOME SCULPTED ART PIECES.THE WINDOWS ON THREE SIDES THE KITCHEN AND ITS ADJACENT SITTING AREAS ARE BATHED IN NATURAL LIGHT.

In night it give a pleasant impression ,the use of light and glass . Its sloping roof is unique factor in this house.IN THE END OF CASE STUDY ,I JUST WANT TO CONCLUDE THAT WOOD RESIDENCE IS THE SUITABLE EXAMPLE OF CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE , WITH ITS SLOPPING ROOF, EXCESS USE OF WOOD AND USE OF GLASS AND LIGHT IN PLEASANT MANNER.
