At the top of the stairs, you become aware that the home is laid out in an ‘L’ shape, and has landscaped outdoor space.

Where possible, floor-to-ceiling glass has been used throughout the home to frame the views of the surrounding area.

Throughout the home, materials like concrete, weathered steel, and natural cedar mirror the texture and color palette of the nature outside.


Wooden cabinetry has been paired with light cream colored stone to create a contemporary kitchen look.
