Panoramic glass pulls in sweeping views from the North, West, and South, while materials like charred cypress, walnut, white oak and douglas fir marry the internal warmth with the natural environment outside. A covered porch extends the living room out, allowing clients to fully enjoy the home’s location nestled into the hillside.
