Large front doors welcome guests to the house, while a second set of doors open up the interior of the home to a patio and swimming pool, and a set of stairs leads down to the garden.

The house wraps around the patio and swimming pool, and at one end, there’s an outdoor dining area.

Inside, the kitchen, dining area and living room share the same space, while in the kitchen, wood cabinets match the cabinetry outside underneath the barbecue.

Next to the kitchen is the dining room. Lime green chairs add a pop of color to the mostly white and wood interior.

At the end of the open plan room is the living room with a light grey couch that looks out towards the valley.

A long hallway with floor-to-ceiling windows connects the living areas of the home to the bedrooms.

In the bedroom, two tall and narrow windows sit either side of the bed, while a sliding door opens the bedroom to the outdoors.

In the bathroom, clerestory windows follow the curve of the wall and a wood framed window provides views of the surrounding landscape. A private outdoor shower can be accessed through a glass door.

There’s also a room that’s been set up as a children’s play room with fun black and white wallpaper.
