Set on a typical suburban lot that backs unexpectedly onto a wooded escarpment and creek, the Constant Springs Residence nimbly balances urban proximity with the sense of an isolated retreat. Designed for a family of four, the home maximizes privacy and natural views while remaining walkable to parks, schools, and neighborhood amenities.
Built by the owner in his first role as a general contractor, the project reflects an uncommon level of care and craftsmanship. Close collaboration between architect and builder resulted in a home shaped by attention to both detail and experience.
The design preserves and incorporates the site’s mature Live Oaks, orienting the one-story structure horizontally beneath the canopy. A continuous Western Red Cedar ceiling extends inside and out, while strategic roof openings embrace trees and sky—framing nature as a vital element of the architecture.
A restrained material palette—cedar, marble, limestone, white oak, and steel—grounds the home, while custom glazing connects interior spaces to both an understated front courtyard and the dramatic natural landscape beyond. The result is a refined, light-filled residence that lives intimately with its surroundings.
