As a cottage, the Ridgecrest was designed to take full advantage of a property rich in natural beauty. Each of the main houses three bedrooms, and all of the entertaining spaces, have large rear facing windows with thick craftsman style casing. A glance at the front motor court reveals a guesthouse above a three-stall garage. Complete with separate entrance, the guesthouse features its own bathroom, kitchen, laundry, living room and bedroom. The columned entry porch of the main house is centered on the floor plan, but is tucked under the left side of the homes large transverse gable. Centered under this gable is a grand staircase connecting the foyer to the lower level corridor. Directly to the rear of the foyer is the living room. With tall windows and a vaulted ceiling. The living rooms stone fireplace has flanking cabinets that anchor an axis that runs through the living and dinning room, ending at the side patio. A large island anchors the open concept kitchen and dining space. On the opposite side of the main level is a private master suite, complete with spacious dressing room and double vanity master bathroom. Buffering the living room from the master bedroom, with a large built-in feature wall, is a private study. Downstairs, rooms are organized off of a linear corridor with one end being terminated by a shared bathroom for the two lower bedrooms and large entertainment spaces.

This light fixture features a design of cream-colored clay beads, with additional color options available. The beads are crafted using the stoneware method, which involves hand-rolling each bead, firing them at high temperatures, and then meticulously arranging them onto brushed stainless steel frames. A diverse range of bead sizes, up to seven different dimensions, are utilized to create the elegant draping effect. The alternative design employs the earthenware method (not seen here) where the beads are similarly hand-rolled but fired at lower temperatures compared to stoneware. This method allows for a broader spectrum of color choices. The earthenware variant also incorporates beads of varying sizes and shapes. For both designs, the same color chart is applicable for color selection.

The fourth-floor bonus space is transformed into a full home bar with custom cabinetry, a stone counter, glass display storage and a rolling library ladder. Deep blue-green cabinetry, brass detailing and textured tile give the space its own identity while remaining connected to the home’s broader material palette.
