The structure is sited to enjoy views of the adjacent open space while preserving the site’s core for outdoor entertaining and activities. The second story of this stylish family home serves as a privacy buffer from neighbors. Reflective of forms prominent in the California rural landscape, the rooflines are stretched asymmetrically to protect the interiors from the heat of summer, while thoughtful siting works with the sun’s movement throughout the day.
