Cabin planners with economy in mind may get some pointers on use of a hillside site if they study the plan for this compact house in Monterey, California. To cut foundation costs, Designer Robert H. Hartman used a triangular floor plan. Thus the cabin needs support at only one point on the downhill side. A single board and batten wall, and a 2-inch tongue and groove floor over joists set on 5-foot centers accounted for further savings.
