The lower level was tucked into the hillside by sculpting the land (while still preserving it's natural appearance). The result is a house that looks like it fits the land, rather than looking like the land has been made to fit the house. The center portion of the basement has access to the garden, but the rooms above are not cut off from the yard either. Walkways lead to the patios on the sides of the house so that almost all rooms on the main level have outdoor access as well.
