Critical to the success of a good home are engaged, smart and interesting owners. For
example, they eschewed the common conception of opening the entry of the house to the
views, instead opting for a large covered intimate space at the center of the home so that
guests could be welcomed and addressed, and wait for the unfolding of the house to the site.
Durable materials and minimal maintenance were also at the forefront of the design aesthetic,
resulting in a restrained palette. The stone is used sparingly and a tool to draw occupants to
the covered exterior spaces. Stained cedar then ties the various wings of the building together
in a simple straightforward manner. Also indicative of their character, they chose to utilize the
significant concrete slab that came with the property, and turn it into a pickleball court that
serves as a draw to guests and family. This decision set off the landscape and location of out
buildings and serves as a playful centerpiece to the site and entry sequence.
Similarly, the interior design reflects the client's passion for design, combining the various
forces of the architecture, site and client needs. This is reflected in the wonderfully peaceful
feeling of the Primary Bedroom, with it's subdued colors and materials, and wonderful relaxing
seating space at the fireplace. Conversely, the more active spaces such as the home office,
are filled with splashes of color, wonderful casework details among the oversized windows
looking out to the garden.
