Fasade*

An opening in a Cor-Ten steel—clad wall on the terrace frames the Paola Lenti chaise longue.

Overlooking the double-height living/dining area is the mezzanine level, where the master suite and office are located.

DZINE Concept did the interior design throughout. The dining room features a Liquid table by Baxter and Charme chairs from Busnelli.

Located in Orinda, California, a three-bedroom house by architect Greg Faulkner took its first aesthetic cue from a large oak tree on the site. Cor-Ten steel panels clad the exterior, while white oak offers a material counterpoint on the interior. A 12-foot-wide sliding pocket wall opens the living/dining area to a terrace with a Wave Chaise longue by Paola Lenti. The landscape design is by Thuilot Associates.

The main living spaces were divided into two distinct volumes, slightly offset to maximize the stunning—and remarkably different—views from the property. A common entry rejoins the two structures.

A combination of carefully chosen furniture and finishes, including pine flooring and trim, warms up the lofty, white interior.
