Our clients came to us with their vision of a light-filled two-story home that would balance requirements for living, working, and entertaining while reflecting their love of contemporary design.
Our response was to create walls of glass opening onto two outdoor spaces: a private rear yard and a contemplative central courtyard designed around a distinctive water feature.
The home's front facade represents an abstracted yin-yang motif that repeats in the courtyard. A meandering pathway directs visitors to the front door, which opens onto the view of the interior light court.
Two other slot courtyards bring light, air, and greenery further into the house, with layers of glass dissolving the boundaries between interior and exterior space.
