A waterfall and grotto are positioned poolside.

Per the agent, "The wood post and double-beam system, a Wexler signature, provided a flexible open floor plan which could expand and contract as the needs of the family changed."

The house is balanced atop a rocky slope. “Not one millimeter of rock was blasted away,” says Rickard, who deferred to the topography in his design.

The 3.4 acre property is home to a rare feature in a city: a private waterfall.

The floors provide a comfortable place for the family dog, Messi, to sit.

The third-floor loft, with its ceiling of interlocking wood beams, is George’s preferred hangout. “I can stay up there for hours,” he says.

The contrasting style of the original home and the 70s-era addition come together in this space, now with white oak wall paneling and a twenty-foot-long, seven-foot-wide custom sofa designed by Office of Tangible Space. The painting is by Kathan Zerzan.

The home contains four bedrooms, each with their own en suite bath.

In the living room, continuous flooring runs from inside to an exterior deck, helping spaces connect seamlessly between inside and out.

Set on the highest point of the property, the house offers panoramic views.

The furniture is a combination of family heirlooms and newer items, such as the Hiroshima Woodseat armchairs by Naoto Fukusawa for Mjolk that surround the dining table. Two Glo-Ball pendants by Jasper Morrison hang in the living/dining area, while Drop 1 pendants by Peter Bowles light the kitchen.

Lia hoped to outfit the interior with nearby eucalyptus trees.

At night, the building glows like a lantern, making the two studios visible.
