The main living spaces are on the upper level of the two-story home. Bedrooms and private spaces are on the lower level, with walk-out access to the private backyard. An open bookcase and "floating" stair connect the two levels of the house, as does the double-volume master bathroom shower.

Two parallel masonry walls define the linear plan. The uphill wall facing the street is sparsely punctured to ensure privacy. The south-facing downhill wall has many windows to provide outdoor living access, sunlight, and views to the yard. A small courtyard separates the master suite and rooftop retreat from the rest of the house. In a similar manner, the garage is pulled away from the main body of the house. This double-dog-trot configuration allows for a sheltered, recessed entry and framed views through the house.

Slipped between the two masonry walls, a wood ceiling slopes up and extends beyond a glass wall facing the courtyard. This wall of windows provides views both through the house and of the house itself. Standard strip lights applied to the ceiling and detailed with custom wood “fins” accentuate the linear plan. Under the wood ceiling, a Corten steel volume organizes the service core of the upper level (mudroom, powder room, mudroom, closet, and kitchen) and terminates at the family room fireplace.
