The new kitchen-and-dining area connects to the living area and the rear yard.

The roof is clad in natural cedar with a copper trim.

Hatchet Design Build took a contemporary approach with this kitchen while still drawing from the a traditional palette. The grain-matched walnut cabinets echo the walnut pocket doors elsewhere.

The master bedroom features smart bespoke storage solutions, including a wardrobe, bedside table, shelving, drawers and a make-up table.

This colorful terrazzo makes a bold statement against the all-white cabinetry.

Sleeping berths are curtained off to provide privacy in the guest quarters.

From the deck you really get a sense of the two main volumes of the house. One faces inward and the other out, a fine representation of Boone's ideas about the division between work space and living space.

Designed to be a welcoming space for visitors, the glassy foyer addition is clearly defined against the more private interior of the house.
