Pool level — corten steel and stone facade
Pool level — corten steel and stone facade
Living room — double-height glass walls and stone fireplace
Living

The main living volume opens through floor-to-ceiling glass to panoramic sunset views over the California hills. A stone fireplace anchors the double-height space, while dining and seating areas flow together — creating a continuous social landscape where the architecture frames the horizon.

Kitchen — stone island and panoramic landscape views
Materials

The kitchen centers on a monolithic stone island with leather-upholstered bar seating. Pendant lights drop from above while full-height glazing dissolves the boundary between interior and landscape. Warm timber cabinetry and integrated appliances maintain the home’s clean, material-driven language.
