PROJECT DETAILS

DKA was commissioned to design a custom home that would provide a sense of privacy and security while allowing for a maximum of outdoor living. From the outside the house appears to be all roof, as a blanket of hand split cedar shingles hugging the ground. Beneath the roof, DKA created a world as complex and natural as the outdoors. Divisions between the inside and outside spaces are subtle and constantly shifting. The outside is brought inside at every opportunity through the generous use of skylights and glass that makes up 75% of the walls. Natural materials, including wood, stone, brick, and stucco abound.
