The Japanese bathroom has an onset, which looks out to greenery framed by timber portals.

The asymmetrical window frames curates the view through the window of the master bedroom.

The sloped ceiling opens up toward the scenery outside.

The house's short, east-facing walls extend out to the terrace, blurring indoor and outdoor spaces.

Repurposed Douglas fir (leftovers from concrete formwork from the house build) was used on the ceiling, with a Velux skylight. The custom Douglas Fir bookshelf was designed and fabricated by Kevin, with a desktop made from salvaged pine by Vintage Mill Werks and a Hay stool.

The sash-style windows are from Sierra Pacific, with a ‘Paramount’ sofa and ottoman by Blu Dot tucked underneath.

A Kraus faucet is paired with a Delta stainless steel sink. The stainless-steel refrigerator is by Samsung.

The cabinets are IKEA frames with 'BASIS Natural Oak’ fronts by Reform.
