This single-family residence in a heavily wooded setting opens outward through corner glazing, broad eaves, and asymmetrical massing, to respond to the sun and surrounding views.

Internal spaces freely communicate both horizontally and vertically. The two-story entrance hall flows into a two-story living room with overlooking second-floor balconies. Intimate family, den, dining, and living spaces flank these more formal spaces.

The layering of these spaces is carefully articulated through an extensive system of horizontal trim, which reads from the interior through to the exterior. The foursquare detailing celebrates the simple intersection of horizontal and vertical components. This organization unifies the detailing throughout, but is used with numerous variations, from the poplar trim and granite accents on the interior to the wrought-iron railings and light sconces on the exterior.

Principal exterior materials are stucco, cedar and Philadelphia bluestone.
