Now, there’s casual seating at the island bar in the kitchen and a formal dining table. A built-in serving area comes in handy for storage or entertaining. Additional windows convey other qualities of the site. “We replaced the windows for lots of reasons: to increase the performance of the home, and accentuate the views they wanted,” says Porter. “But this home has beautiful woodland views, too. So, we wanted to orient the house so it's not just a one-liner, but has intimate moments where you're looking at the woods.”
The property's descending grade allowed the architects to create a split-level home so that the dining area steps down from the living space.
The kitchen-and-dining area is outfitted with a large wood table, a wood butcher block, and a wood shelf that all tie to the materiality of the Douglas Fir ceiling and reinforce the idea of a cabin in the woods.

Jack and Marilyn Zuber lived in the Brentwood home for 65 years without altering anything but the wallpaper. Thomas even has photos of them digging on the site when construction first began.

Her approach was to "celebrate and preserve, rather than rip out and change."
