This 9,694 square foot modern residence pays homage to the craftsman architecture of the early 1900s with its originality, simplicity of form, use of natural materials and the visibility of handmade details. The design is inspired as much by its unique setting as the clients lifestyle. To maximize the views of the surrounding eucalyptus and pine groves, the house is split into two wings, which turn away from the motor court to face an expansive lawn and the surrounding canyon views. Inspired by the soft tones of eucalyptus bark, the facade is clad with gray-stained cedar, which unifies the structure with the surrounding landscape. Breaking the structure into smaller parts reduces massing and establishes a physical connection with the outdoors, providing access from almost any room. At the heart of the home is a dramatic stacked stone fireplace that begins in the living room and penetrates the exterior wall to become a wedge-shaped landscape feature and finally, the pool wall.
