This home is designed as a modern-day Bay Area residence with balance of traditional and contemporary details. Rustic western red cedar siding adorns the outside of the home and blends with the modern look of a metal roof to create a play between old and new, allowing this house to be both functional and beautiful. The home wraps around an outdoor court that is used as a family gathering space and connects to an outdoor room by way of sliding and bi-folding glass doors, creating a seamless connection between shelter and nature. The interior of the home is bright and fresh, in contrast to the exterior with crisp, contemporary detailing. Dark stained wood floors and white oak cabinetry add a rich feeling to the interior, while exposed bleached structural framing provides an almost country loft aesthetic.
