Cast-in-pi ace concrete walls retaining earth berms Laminated wood beams and plank roof, wood frame interiors The Hilltop House, one of Morgan‘s greatest designs, epitomizes his intention to buiW with the earth, not on it—the essential attribute of his earth architecture. The site is a hill located in central Florida, 2000 feet in diameter, rising 70 feet, the top of"which the clients chose as their favorite picnic spot before tile house was built. When first seen from a great distance, the house strikes otic as being at once natural and artificial, archaic and modern. The house draws the massive heaviness of the hill up into a pyramidal form, its corners oriented to the cardinal points, and its spaces framed by eartfi-n‘Laining walis of geometric precision. The rooms of the house open in four directions, honied by protected terraces cut into the ground, so that this most earl.h-boimd of houses is, paradoxically. cross-ventilated by all four winds. The upper level, named "the Observatory," is a single, central room, crowned by a pyramidal roof that brings the lines of the house and hill to its peak, and from which one is afforded uninterrupted view‘s of the surrounding landscape. Inspired by prchistorir earth architecture, this house provides its occupants both modern spatial freedoms and an intensely spiritual connection to the earth. Robert McCarter
