All along the hallway, additional Shoji screens offer multiple options to enclose several bedrooms to the left, as well as control sunlight entering the south-facing windows. The home's original owners added a bed of granite rocks and log rounds in place of traditional flooring.
Upstairs, a six-foot-wide terrace runs along one side of the house. “You can only access it from the bedrooms,” says Teresa. “It’s a little private patio for the kids.”
The living area includes a sofa from Helmut Muebles and a coffee table by La Base, set against a lush backdrop of oleander.
The ground floor, with its walls of windows, embraces the outdoors. “Most of the year we keep all the windows open,” says Teresa, “and then the real limit of the house is the property walls.”
