The sunken living room is just one of many grade changes inside the structure. “We were adamant that we didn’t want something domestic,” says Andrew. “We wanted something surprising, that was hyper-animated, and that, when you moved through it, changed all the time.” The sofa, designed by the couple and Levenbetts, is upholstered in cotton velvet. The Habibi side tables are by Philipp Mainzer for e15, the fireplace tools by Fort Standard, and the doors by Fleetwood.

Quality millwork in the primary suite—small details such as the cylindrical handles and channeling around the doors—gives it a modern sophistication. The white oak cabinetry complements the white oak flooring, salvaged from a renovation in a different neighborhood.

"The idea for the shower room is that it would be like a retreat," Eric says. "There is a long hallway between it and the bedroom, so it becomes an intentional procession every time you want to get there." The floor is a large-format tile in a geologic-inspired pattern. "It almost looks like it's full of fossils," Eric says. He and Emily populated the room with green plants for a natural layer of color.

Stanaćev and Granados not only thought about views from the cabin, they also considered views of the cabin. With that in mind, they designed a green roof planted with creeping redflush that harmonizes with surrounding cypress forest. When the client and his wife are in the main house, a few feet behind the new structure, all they see is greenery.

Rakks shelving ($400) and two BluDot cabinets ($1200) mark the transition from front to back of house. A well-loved Tobia Scarpa Monk chair and Robert Sonneman Orbiter Sconce stand guard to the left.

Ben and Emilio wheeled sheets of MDF over from a nearby Home Depot to create the radiator cover. They perforated the sheets by hand on the roof just beyond the windows. The total project cost around $350.

A thorough coating of white paint unifies the studio space, while textured rugs and furnishings give it some personality. Ben and Emilio’s latest piece, an aluminum Library Lamp, sits on a credenza behind an Alvar Aalto 544 sofa while a Noguchi pendant hangs overhead.
