The home is adjacent to a park and the residents wanted to seamlessly bridge the interiors and exteriors. The concrete floors extend underneath the deep eaves and sliding glass doors open up the interior space, making the home feel larger than its 2,300 square feet. Bud Brannigan, the home's architect, is known for designing art galleries and takes some of the sensibilities he uses for those spaces and employs them in residential design. "Like a gallery, the design of our home emphasizes the form and function of the internal spaces. For example, curtain rails, door jams, and knobs are either recessed or concealed so as not to detract from the seamlessness of the interior," says John.
