Miki Hyun testified that during construction they realized that the proposed plans were not lining up with the existing house and courtyard as they had hoped; that in order to relate to the existing structure better she would like to rotate the proposed addition 90 degrees; that by rotating the volume the north facade becomes the east facade, the east facade becomes the south facade; that the stone deck relates to the patio door instead of windows and the flow remains the same; and that all of the materials are the same.
