Set on a moderately sloped lot, this single-family house is organized around a feature interior double-height division, bisecting social from functional spaces, private from public rituals. The main floor is continuous from front patio through to the back garden, providing a generous mix of covered and uncovered exterior lounging spaces. The lot has been carefully landscaped to provide privacy within while softening the crisp roof and deck lines. Familiar materials of wood, stucco, stone, and glass create a warm, unforced aesthetic for all to enjoy.
