"This home design is a departure from a conventional house design in that the client set different design objectives for the interior and exterior of the building. The exterior is constructed entirely of masonry, precast concrete and fiber cement products to minimize maintenance and impart a feeling of permanence. Use of these materials helps integrate the building with the site in a timeless fashion. The interior provides the owners with a more traditional feel; not overly formal but rather warm and comfortable without excessive embellishment. The entire interior is bathed in natural light with artificial lighting integrated to the extent that it is not readily visible unless intended."
