The mostly white home has a swimming pool as the focal point of the home. It’s almost seamless in its integration, with no steps down to it from the kitchen and dining area.

Upstairs, there’s access to a rooftop garden off the master bedroom. White rocks and stepping stones have been used as well as planters made from steel containers, all making the garden easy to maintain.
