This project is a representation of our firm’s unique, holistic approach to the integration of interior design, architecture, and landscape.
The home is sculpted into a landscape that is primarily bedrock, allowing it to elegantly interface with its surrounding environment. This lends a low, site-sensitive profile to the overall composition. This approach, along with the integration of natural elements, allow for interior spaces that seamlessly blend with the natural beauty of the surroundings.
The curated palette of materials are a reflection of the natural elements on the site and surroundings. The home was nested into the bedrock, allowing natural stone to enter into the interior spaces as a unique feature. Cedar and walnut were used to foster visual warmth, while blackened steel, glass, and polished concrete afford the dramatic spans found throughout the home. Venetian plaster and textiles soften the interior spaces, as the neutral color palette
evokes restfulness and contemplation.
Upon entering the home, guests are presented with a dramatic grand pavilion overlooking the expansive views of the water. The openness of the plan is made intimate by nested, individual spaces within the whole that feel unique, while maintaining a sense of connection with the rest of the project. The challenge here was creating a sense of intimate, interior space without creating division or compromising views to the exterior. Each space is intentionally designed to
frame the surrounding natural beauty, allowing exterior views and light to flow to the interior. Greenery covers the low slung, horizontal roofs, allowing the structure to seamlessly integrate into the landscape.
