FACING PAGE TOP: The 16-foot-tall great room, with its floor-to-ceiling glass walls, appears to float above the pool and offers views of the bay on three sides. Utilizing triple-
pane windows, the house is finely tuned to be extremely energy efficient. With concrete and stone floors, the heat from the winter is stored and released throughout the day.
Geothermal wells provide clean and renewable energy to the home.
FACING PAGE CENTER: A series of terraces further engage the views: a ground-floor terrace wraps the living room while a second-floor covered porch provides a birds-eye
perspective. Da Motta Design interiors complement the site's breathtaking beauty with furnishings that draw from nature's colors and textures.
FACING PAGE BOTTOM: Privacy glass in the master bath switches from clear to opaque by applying voltage. Marble is introduced in select rooms to complement the
minimalist palette of concrete, limestone and dark finishes.
BELOW: LED lighting throughout means the energy loads from lighting are minimal, and sustainably harvested Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood was used for framing
lumber and all cabinetry and finish wood.
