Expert landscaping and reflective design coalesce in this remarkable private residence. Inspired by contextual and site variables, the design and resulting architecture uses warm and inviting materials throughout. Interior and exterior spaces are intertwined together to take full advantage of the project's large inner city site. The center of this experience is a courtyard carved out of the site's core, around which interior and exterior elements purposefully revolve. Although the original site was flat and indistinct, a much more dynamic landscape was manufactured to embody characteristics similar to the home which is designed upon it. The result is a residence with lofted, suspended and private spaces designed throughout. - Western Living, 2011
