The use of Leuder stone and rough stone mill blocks throughout the grounds recalls the adjacent historical quarry site to the north and affords a visual opulence as it flows through the open interior, dog run like spaces. At the second floor, a roof top mirador creates a progression of the ground level experience transporting you into the tree canopies. The use of a creamy white paint throughout the interior and exterior provides a blank canvas to receive a rich tapestry of light and shadow. In this home, one feels the constant change of time throughout the day and seasons of the year, enlivened by the ever-changing stream of natural light.
Modern Legacy
This two-story one-room wide plan provides simultaneous access and views to the front and rear yard with porches that expand to the landscape, and was designed to weave through the ½ acre lot in order to preserve the 50 heritage trees.
