The back of the house features a combination of Hardi-Panel lap siding and board and batten, which are in a series of greys softened by the redwood deck and plantings.

The foldings doors are by La Cantina, which expand to a redwood deck and the view across the valley.

The cabinets are black matte glass by Leicht. The floating walnut table, shelves and light are by Matt Eastvold.

The ceiling is prefinished rift white oak. The walls at the back of the space conceal the powder room and media room.

According to Paul Raff, the biggest design challenge was creating a functional home that would accommodate the family's regular activities (dining, music, play, homework) all on one level. This was solved by "collaging spaces of different shapes and sizes together, and by interconnecting them all with a very open and seamlessly integrated kitchen." The airy family kitchen features Loire limestone floors, BassamFellows Tractor stools, and an Eames molded plastic chair.
