ABOVE: The modern interpretation of an inglenook includes
two daybeds on either side of the free-standing fireplace
and ample library space. An indoor trellis creates a room
within a room, and imbues the space with a sense of intimacy
while providing a surface for extra sources of light. The trellis
feature is repeated on the opposite side of the space, over
the kitchen.
LEFT: The small home office overlooks the living room. A
board-form concrete wall runs through the home, beginning
in front and terminating on the opposite side. It serves as
a metaphorical spine for the residence. In some areas, it is
structurally necessary to support the roof; in others, it is a
reminder of the home's strong connection to the environment.
FACING PAGE: Common areas are designed for easy flow
from one space to the other. The modern kitchen faces the
dining room, where madrone wood floors—made from
reclaimed wood found on the site—run the length of the
space. In the living room, porcelain Mosa tile creates a
beautiful bluestone-like separation before the madrone wood
floors resume in the inglenook.
