This Eichler style home received a total facelift, gaining a private, controlled entry to the patio, an outdoor living room. An outdoor kitchen hides behind a screen wall at one end, allowing service to the central dining table. Stone, rusty steel and concrete patterns create a "carpet" on the floor, reinforcing the outdoor room theme. A kinetic sculpture livens up the entry space and a wood wall section spares the roots of an existing Japanese maple.

On the other side of the house, an Asian themed garden creates a soothing space outside the home office.
