The stone slab forms a display niche in the cabinetry, and syncs up with the materials used elsewhere in the house. The step up, and the flooring material change, designates the boundary between foyer and the rest of the home.
The new foyer is designed after a Japanese Genkan, and ensures the entry is clearly delineated from the rest of the house. The wood of the bottom stair forms the bench for sitting and removing shoes.
The front of the home shows how the roof was lifted to maximize the views.
In total, the dwelling features four bedrooms, including a spacious principal suite.
Each of the home’s four bathrooms were remodeled, and now feature all-new fixtures.
