Western Window Systems' aluminum windows with large panes and minimal frames lend themselves to clean sightlines and indoor-outdoor connection.
Teak furniture, sourced from Teak Warehouse, adds a fitting lightness to the patio.
The open, split-level plan allows for continuous flow from space to space, and uninterrupted views from the inside out. The original radiant heating system remains, and cool gray cork floors provide comfort and warmth.
The light-filled ensuite bathroom includes a Nickles showerhead and MIZU taps.
According to the architects, the house's "thinner dimensions not only display refinement of technique, but also remove visual weight from materials—the position being that lightness is good for the human spirit and visual heaviness is not."
Vertical planks of western red cedar provide a warm contrast against horizontal zinc siding panels.
The home appears to float above the natural pool, adding an element of whimsy.
The terrace by the pool is a great spot to watch the sunset.
The entry foyer, perched on the pond’s west bank, opens to a long glazed walkway elevated above the water that leads to the main living spaces and bedrooms beyond.
The veranda on the southwest side of the home is shielded from the elements by the roof. The chairs upholstered in red fabric match the pigmented concrete walls.
The living area features a Le Bombole ’07 sofa by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia, a Chieftan chair by Finn Juhl, and a rotating hanging stove by FireOrb. The poufs are by Tazi Designs.
Gracious outdoor spaces are seamlessly integrated with the interiors through sliding walls of glass.
