Built-ins

In many townhouses, the ground floor is referred to as the 'garden level,' while the main living area, or 'parlor level,' is typically found on the second floor. However, this house's hillside location allows the main parlor level to open directly to the backyard, combining the privacy of a traditional parlor level with the convenience of garden access, while the garden level functions as a walk-in basement.

In the living area, existing built-in seating is complemented by Mies van der Rohe lounge chairs and custom coffee tables by Michael James Moran.
