With expansive hill country views, this home takes full advantage of its northern exposure. Each of the main living and sleeping spaces open out to the large covered porch and look over the property and beyond, allowing the spaces to be usable at any time of day. The open kitchen and living area have a vaulted ceiling and clerestory windows that allow even more northern light, creating a bright but evenly lit space with minimal need for artificial lighting.

The home is constructed with local materials, such as limestone masonry and cedar woodwork, and two simple gabled forms to create a clean and timeless house that connects to the landscape and history of the area.
