Description
This L-shaped private residence is traversed by a long diagonal that extends onto the grounds outside, defining the entranceways. One open-plan volume running east–west contains the living areas, with large windows providing beautiful views of the backyard. A second bi-level volume, perpendicular to the first, houses the bedrooms and bathrooms. The use of a limited number of materials and colors (stained wood paneling, brick, and glass) and the juxtaposition of simple volumes create a sober, balanced, serene look and feel.
