This private outdoor space would be otherwise unavailable within a hillside home.
This is the terrace which is just off the master bedroom.
The courtyard has a serene sitting area and frames views into the house and straight through to the other side.
"My client’s highest priority was building a pool," says Hannah. "The property had 2 flat acres—rare in this neighborhood—which was ideal for a pool. We were able to do a very simple and modern granite pool with a beautiful contrast of concrete and decking... and still have room in the back yard for a giant vegetable garden."
The 2,466 square foot, two-level home features three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths.
The deck and fire pit create a cozy space for everyday living and effortless entertaining.

Protected from the northeasterly winds, the deck enjoys ample access to sunlight. “My concept of the deck was to treat it almost like an infinity pool where there’s a very sharp edge and it being coplanar with the floor when you’re in the house looking out you can’t really see anything but the water,” adds John.
Local landscape designer Michael Bernsohn composed a palette of native plants artfully arranged to soften the hard edges of the deck while providing privacy and protection from the wind.
The property also includes one of Richard Serra's monumental sculptures made of weathering steel.
A large pool is located on the east side of the residence.

Jody’s favorite spot is outside on the deck. “I spend most of my time there. We’ve got two braais, and I braai just about every night,” he says, using the Afrikaans word for barbecue. “It’s not about the food for me,” he adds, “It’s about standing around the fire.” The platform sofas were designed by Scott, the dining table is by James Mudge Furniture Studio, and the Hee lounge and dining chairs are by Hay.
He devised the pergola to break up the mass of the house and integrate it into the site.

A linear swimming pool in the back of the property runs parallel to the central axis.
An outdoor fire pit sits between the dining room and the study.
Glazed walkways link the two volumes over the ponds.
"The simple shape was extruded lengthwise along the site and sliced down the middle with a pond to form a central axis," say the architects. "Slender, cathedral-like spaces were formed around this central thoroughfare with ponds running parallel to walkways to link the spaces."

"The underside of the canopy inside and outside is a black theatrical fabric scrim that creates a continuous feeling of deep, soft shade, while subtly screening the conventional, gang-nail, wood-truss roof structure and black-fabric-faced R-38 sound/thermal batt insulation above," notes the firm.
The master bedroom terrace includes an outdoor shower to the north and a koi pond to the south.
