Igor Polevitzky's Mesrobian Residence is built around a series of patios that inflect from the street through the house, dividing the living and sleeping areas. Since the house is oriented toward the street to allow for cooling by southeast trade winds, masonry site walls and wood baffles are used to provide privacy.
