A NEWLY CONSTRUCTED FAMILY HOME IN LOS ALTOS Perched at the top of a gracefully sloping property, the residence at Elena is the epitome of contemporary architecture. The home presents a wide face of concrete and wood to the east, taking full advantage of a dramatic view. With soaring ceilings in the main living space, which combines a living room, dining room and kitchen, the feeling is light and airy. Floor to ceiling windows invite the outside in, giving the house an expanse beyond its 8,000 square feet, but because it is placed far away from the street, there is still a sense of intimacy and privacy. EUROPEAN FURNISHINGS TO COMPLEMENT THE CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE The interior design seeks to match this feeling, with carefully selected contemporary European furniture exuding serenity and luxury. The furnishings are light in color, inspired by the natural light that flows throughout the home, with a select few in light grey reflecting the interplay of Northern California’s sky with the San Francisco Bay in view of the house. The feeling is sunny and fresh, with the design elements working in harmony with the new architecture, providing a sophisticated yet understated gathering place for family and friends. The seamless flow of the furnishings from indoor to outdoor provides an invitation to step outside and enjoy the panoramic bay views. The rooms are accessorized with a unique selection of antique, vintage and ethnic pieces, lending a sense of soul, warmth and narrative to the home. Completing the design are over 25 works of art specifically curated to adorn the whitewashed walls, providing playful pops of color and bringing life into the house.

JAC 140 - Twilight in Space by Jon Allen The Jon Allen Collection is an exclusive, hand-selected group of my most personal work to date. Each piece is hand-painted on aluminum. My art itself and my chosen medium, aluminum, are blissfully married. You may not think of the word organic when you hear the word metal, but this is some of my most organic art and that’s simply because metal allows my work to achieve true sentience. Aluminum’s naturally reflective nature enables each color, shape, and stroke to reach its full potential. A new aspect of the painting will reveal itself to you as it basks in the light that surrounds, evades, or envelops it in that moment. When you see the piece from different angles, you will appreciate how vibrant, dynamic, and environmentally influenced these pieces are. What you may see and feel by morning is not what you’ll see or feel by dusk and in many ways, and as such I feel these pieces capture the ever-ebbing and complex nature of human emotion and perception. Some of these pieces are truly abstract while others are modern takes on traditional landscapes, marine life, and portraits. I hope you enjoy them a fraction of how much I enjoyed creating them. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Number of Pieces: 1 Dimensions: 46" x 13" x 2" off the wall Care & Cleaning: Clean with a soft cloth and plain soap & water Other Features: Hardware is pre-installed for simple hanging and art will “float” 2” off the wall

The upper level, steel grated stairs, have suspension wire railing, and are made of salvaged materials from the trade. This upper level bedroom will eventually be a children's playroom, but for the time being they are too little for this location. Industrial Loft Home, Seattle, WA. Belltown Design.
