Metal: in yards and on houses

Set on a steep, forested hillside, Saul Zaik’s 1961 residence evokes a tree house with two wings connected by a series of cantilevered decks and a glass pavilion.

An outdoor breezeway between the storage shed and the main house is ideal for outdoor dining.

A massive block fireplace dominates the interior of this secluded retreat, which pairs industrial finishes with woodsy charm.
