Dream House Design with Contemporary and Natural Finishes Balance

This home, located on a narrow finger of land perched above a deep valley. The expansive views and exposure of a ridge top site, the quiet, contemplative shade of a redwood forest, the urbanity of a modern city residence, and the quiet of a wilderness are things that describe this work. A glimpsed view through the curved walls of the breezeway, on to the pool and the hills beyond starts from the driveway to the house. The front door of fluted glass starts to show the 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths
6070 square feet house for all its guests. Its east part includes all public areas like the kitchen, living room and dining room. Private areas are located in the west part of the house with bedrooms oriented to the canyon, and the family room looking onto the pool and outdoor living areas. The kitchen forms the hub of life in the house and opens fully to the living and dining rooms. The contemporary finishes and design elements are carefully balanced with natural maple cabinets and floors. [James Bourret Architecture]
