This dwelling was thoughtfully sited on the property with a creek traversing through the backyard. The main house encompasses 4,550 square of living space, which includes the main floor, upper floor master suite, and finished basement.

This home also includes a 1,430 square-foot detached two-story garage with a walk-out ‘man cave’ below that opens up onto the lower level of the site.

The structure blends simple geometric shapes with warm, richly textured materials that include wood, cast concrete, and rust-colored steel—that melds with the surroundings.

In the living room, floor-to-ceiling windows slide open to reveal an expansive outdoor patio that has a harmonious flow courtesy of the continuous concrete flooring.

Entering through the custom front door crafted from Bubinga wood, one is greeted by open and airy living spaces that feature east-facing walls of glazing with views of the creek.
