This dwelling boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors that frame views of the outdoor living space.

The house has a zen-like quiet and diminutive feel at the approach but is expansive toward the garden for outdoor living and entertaining, which includes a terrace with a sunken spa and outdoor fireplace.

The exterior facade of this home features stucco from Penn Crete. The color is a custom blend of a light ash tone. Near the front door, a timber bracket supports a prefinished steel roof.

Exposed timber frames express structural lines of force and warmth to the house. The timber and stone lend themselves to an organic expression of the structure growing out of the contour of the ground.

In this clean-lined kitchen, a spacious pantry at the rear allows for fewer cabinets, maximizing the area for high-end appliances. The design features a refined color palette of white with Douglas-fir trim.

Wide sliding glass doors, the glazing of corners, and the full height of spaces help to blur the lines between indoors and outdoors.
