THE MODERN RESIDENCE
TOP: We wanted to capture a Zen-like serenity in the dining room and did
so by using a limited palette, as far as materials and colors are concerned.
The doors lead to a screened-in porch with a matching unfinished-cedar
ceiling and pergola feel. There is a defined sense of space, even with an
open plan.
BOTTOM: Curb-less and open, this Scandinavian-style shower with
operable window captures the beauty of an everyday activity. I built the
sliding cedar shutter to add flexibility year-round, but particularly to
enhance the summer indoor showering experience—enabling daylight
and natural breezes to enter—while still maintaining privacy.
FACING PAGE TOP: The white oak floors of the living room, utilize wide,
solid-wood planks that naturally cup with the changes in humidity of the
coastal environment. Particularly for barefoot summer users, this adds an
element of naturalness and tactile engagement. The corner windows add a
sense of diagonal movement and speak to the waterside feel of the home.
FACING PAGE BOTTOM: Designed for LEED Silver, the home features a
harvested-water irrigation system for maintaining discrete lawn play areas
and low-water vegetation for the rest of the property—gracefully balancing
recreational and ecological objectives.
