House O, designed by Jun Igarashi, forgoes hallways and interior doors in favor of casually interconnected rooms.

The open kitchen has an attached dining table, and is located outside of the secondary glass facade enclosure. This allows not only for natural ventilation while cooking, but also views to the greenery beyond.

Sleeping nooks that look like the grooves in a block of cheese.

A passage between the walls for hide and seek.

The addition’s two stories of cedar-framed sliding doors and window provide generous views of the house’s prized jacaranda tree. The addition’s polished concrete floor and white cladding extend into the garden, drawing occupants to the serene rear porch. There, they can relax on stools designed by Alvar Aalto and Charles Wilson while admiring the luscious greenery.

Nothing but WOW ❤️❤️❤️

Situated on a sloped-site, each renovated space provides a unique perspective and vista to the dramatic natural surroundings. The office, with its stark modern furnishings and subtle artwork, allows the large window to serve as perhaps the most dramatic, singular frame to the foliage beyond.

This living/bedroom space showcases neutral tones and shades of white to contrast the continued use of natural, treated wood surfaces.
