Deep window ledges on the exterior act as small stoops, where the client Wayne Euston-Moore often takes phone calls.

“We wanted the rooftop to feel smaller,” Benjamín says. To achieve this, he designed the guardrail in an irregular loop that sits inside the perimeter of the roof’s outer edges.

Tyler created steel window boxes with depth to help filter sunlight and protect the glass from rainy weather.

The home is finely crafted from timber atop steel stilts, and boasts an impressive attention to detail. Over time, the pale timber will develop a grey patina that will evoke the surrounding rocky landscape.

Architect Rafael Ramos opted for a natural mix of materials—off-white cement bricks, wooden frames, and fluted glass—offset by shades of gray and minimalist geometric-print tile work.

The curvature keeps the home cozy as it breaks up the open-concept main spaces. In the family room, there is a fluted concrete fireplace.

The wallpaper in the formal entry space is Blackthorn by House of Hackney. The pattern—which features hawthorns, daisies, and tulips forming a skull of foliage blooms—is part of a collaboration with the William Morris Gallery, and it was originally created by Morris in 1892.

"The galley-style kitchen on the south boundary has a slim footprint compared to the rest of the house, and allows for north-facing windows almost measuring 16 feet in height," says Naughtin. "The windows can be opened to draw warm air up and out of the space."
