The geometric shape of the roof was driven by the desire to capture a “perspective view” out into the landscape, through both windows and skylights. “The volumes of the roof extend that view out into the landscape,” says architect Peter Tolkin. “The angle and shape of these various views were all connected, which is how the shape of the roof structure got produced.” As a result, each volume has a unique shape and section.

In the primary bedroom, the couple wanted the trees outside to be the focus. "We've lived in so many different places," Bhavani says. "Every place lacked these views and connection to nature. This was our opportunity, and we grabbed it."

In the library in the primary suite, big windows create a tree house effect. The pendant is a Pigeon Toe Ceramics X Rejuvenation model.

The primary bedroom has an extra-long window seat made of Alder wood.

A low wooden bench running along both sides of the extension is both functional and attractive.

The primary bedroom was kept simple—a bed, nightstands, and a set of chairs—to maximize the forest’s presence.

“From anywhere in the house, you have a sense of the outdoors,” says Melonie, “and yet it’s very private.” Ikegami agrees. “The building was really about the landscape—it can dissolve into the background,” he says. In the master bedroom, Japanese Tansu chests from the couple’s previous home flank a Duxiana bed. The full-height windows and swing door are from Western Window Systems.

In the master bedroom, Leger bedside tables by Rodolfo Dordoni for Minotti sit alongside a Lifesteel bed by Antonio Citterio for Flexform in the master bedroom. The linens are by Coyuchi. Glass sliders lead to a large deck.
