From the first meeting, Gallery House was inspired by art, light, and water. Taking advantage of the site’s solar orientation, Gallery House exposes a central courtyard allowing natural light to fill every space while still providing a private retreat for the owners and their guests. It uses a refined palette of cut limestone, SSB Western Red Cedar siding, finished steel and glass, accentuating each material’s specific roll in the overall composition. The home strikes a balance and compliments the more traditional neighborhood by respecting queues from the surrounding context.

Exterior materials transition indoors, upon entering the front door which is only set apart from the adjacent wall by the polished door pull. Moving through the space, the volume expands into the living room before condensing again at the open kitchen and dining areas. Across the seamless reflection of the swimming pool, 40’ of sliding glass tucks out of sight to reveal a true indoor/outdoor entertaining space.

Long runs of tall glass wrap around the courtyard and are equipped with motorized shades to permit light and maintain comfort during the harsh afternoon sun. These shades are tied into the home’s automation system, which allows individual control as well as customizable scenes for different activities or events.

At the south end of the courtyard, the primary suite opens directly to the main pool and spa deck, but sits elevated from the adjacent yard. This view captures the careful detailing of the pool’s perimeter overflow, while revealing the unnoticed change in topography.

The second floor provides two guest suites as well as an additional living area, each with a balcony overlooking the courtyard.

This particular site is a collection point for much of the stormwater in the area. Extensive planning and coordination with local jurisdictions was completed to ensure the site was adequately drained and accounted for the occasional deluge.
