This modest Bouldin Creek home is located on a cliff that backs up to the greenbelt, offering lovely views and naturally occurring privacy. The cantilevered residence sits delicately on the linear site and celebrates the serene surroundings with a strong indoor and outdoor relationship.
A generous side yard maximizes the space to create meaningful outdoor living area. Nestled in the preserved tree canopy, the pool’s infinity edge mimics the elevation change.
Locally sourced, custom Leuders limestone brick, fabricated specifically for this home, are executed in gentle, unexpected curves. In front, they are strategically stacked together to catch the eye and to create a screening element, which allows light to stream into the interior. The stone is complemented by hemlock wood siding and abundant, large windows providing a view of the outdoors from every room in the house.
The light quality of the interior space was carefully considered to be balanced, no matter the time of day. Multiple points of natural light enter through different directions in every room to reduce harsh contrasts of light and shadow. This effect creates a sense of calm.
This residence is simple and restrained and allows the natural landscape to connect with the building, while offering unexpected details and experiences.
