The clients wanted a family home that would take advantage of the site and the views. From the street, the house seems unassuming with touches of wood, white, and gray mixed in with the surrounding greenery.

The other side of the house opens up to fully take advantage of the available outdoor space, with a swimming pool and covered outdoor lounge.

There’s also other outdoor sitting areas located on the same level as the living area. At night you can really see how the house is lit up like a lantern.

Heading inside, there’s a stone wall that carries from the outside through to the entryway. All of the interiors of the home have been designed by Cécile & Boyd.

The main living area has a curved fireplace, with plenty of seating and large natural wood coffee tables. The living room also opens up onto the balcony overlooking the pool below.

In the kitchen, the color palette is kept simple, with white cabinets and touches of wood in a wall of cabinets and the counter stools. A minimal look in the kitchen has been achieved by having cabinetry without hardware.

A bookshelf separates one living area from the wood stairs, and a wire cable detail acts as a safety rail.
