LEFT: The home is known as the "house with legs" because of the columns that stretch out like a spider. These "legs" are notonly
aesthetic but provide structural support for the patio and the house itself. The result is a modern home that offers a sense of
warmth.An inviting private courtyard greets guests as they make their way to the front door. The courtyard also offers privacy to the
rooms that look out onto it and creates serene views dictated by the design concept.

BELOW: The modern home of photographer Peter Lik features a kitchen with a 20-foot bamboo ceiling. A curved portion of the
ceiling is completely suspended over the nucleus of the space to provide more definition, while a stone fireplace adds warmth and
texture.
