Chris and Adi's bedroom takes advantage of its tall ceilings to add extra storage cabinetry above the closet.

“We’re always throwing events,” says Paul, so the indoor/outdoor style was a great fit for them.

The courtyard is enjoyed from multiple vantage points, including the main living spaces and an office on the main floor, as well as a second-floor hallway and bedrooms.

This countryside residence favors simple, sustainable moves over square footage, and strategically captures views without walls of glass.

The brick-and-glass residence accommodates limited mobility with a lift between levels and seamless thresholds between indoors and out.
