Form and Light

This new residence is the result of a deeply collaborative design process between client, architect, interior designer, and builder – a team unified by a shared commitment to craft and precision. Set on a site carefully selected for its ideal solar orientation, the home’s layout balances humility and elegance: a single-story street presence conceals a more private two-story wing that opens to garden views. The design evolved through thoughtful iterations, each element studied and refined, from the sculptural plaster stair handcrafted on site to the interplay between light, material, and landscape. Long white Roman bricks and custom stucco ground the home to its site, while Venetian plaster and oak inlays create a tactile, luminous interior that shifts with the seasons. In construction during the pandemic, the design thoughtfully accommodates both intimate family life and more public moments of connection, resulting in a home that feels at once grounded, refined, and alive to change.
