Twin Gable House floor plan

The home is located far from the road on the northwest corner of the property and oriented toward views of the water.

John's passions for midcentury furniture and gardening dominate the space, a project which started seven years before Ricky moved in. Ricky relinquished his preference for sleek modernism in return for the sprinkling of Madonna-themed decor.

Greg, a production sound recordist, describes himself “as a 12-year old trapped in a 39-year old’s body when it comes to his styling.” In his bedroom, he practices his maximalist approach.

After much research, the original buff stone pictured was discovered at a quarry in Utah, which had since closed but reopened for the material sourcing for this project, the restoration of Richard Neutra's Kaufmann House. A mason worked there for a year and a half to accurately restore stone, chiseling and cutting blocks precisely in place to create a pleasing mosaic. Tops and bottoms of the stones were cut smooth to sit in horizontal position, allowing the sides and faces to be more organic as Richard Neutra intended.

A screened porch is designed to immerse occupants in the natural setting. The leather chaises are by Mario Bellini and date from the 1970s.

A dramatic cantilevered roof extends over the lower building volume, tying together the separate, yet connected, blocks of the home.

Wood screens provide privacy to the lower level, while allowing for ventilation in this hot, humid climate.

The linear swimming pool hovers above the hillside, disappearing into the tropical foliage.

Large, movable glass walls further increase the connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces, blurring the boundary between the two.
