A dramatic second-level patio provides step-out access for outdoor entertaining. Its perch provides privacy and a relaxing view of the historic neighborhood around it.

Each detail in the home was treated as an opportunity for expression. Here, a tall, weathered-steel door pivots smoothly with a tug on its leather-bound handle.

Each exterior panel is a custom graffiti mural by local artist Bask Hostomsky. These panels comprise multiple layers of paint and pattern that bring textured accents to the home.

The kitchen is the heart of the home, and its design was carefully appointed with craftwork by local artisans. Brass pulls were custom designed and crafted to suit the space. The metal mesh on the upper cabinets was replicated with milled details in the cabinets beneath them. Concrete and marble counter tops provided a solid balance of industrial design and luxury.

Architect Tobin Green and his wife, Bianca, entertain regularly at 400SOLA. It's an important part of their lifestyle, and thus, an important part of Green's design.

Bold colors, geometric design elements and warm woods give grand appeal to the home's private spaces. Here, the master bathroom is bright and bold, but relaxed and functional.
