The site for this home is the successful culmination of a 3-year search and creates an idyllic setting for a family home.  The design of the home emphasizes the openness of the landscape with the primary living spaces enjoying three sides of natural light and access to the site.  A central axis lends a sense of clarity and order to the home presenting a more formal face to the street and contemplative landscape and allowing the informal rooms to connect to the pool and sunlit garden. Programmatically, this also places the library in the quiet part of the house emphasizing a more contemplative mood or atmosphere with its warm materiality and large fireplace. The dining room is open to the outside with an outdoor fireplace and gathering area and is intended for formal, quiet entertaining.  The great room or family room is the heart of family living with an open kitchen, breakfast table, and 3 walls of French doors that can be opened and connected to the exterior.  The upper level offers each family member a place for independence and privacy, including a playroom that is to evolve to become the teenagers’ escape as the kids grow.
