Wood structural members tie together the entry and upper levels of this modern inviting home featured in South Bay Digs December 2016. A trellised entry path leads along a stone wall that serves as both divider and patio rail. Stucco volumes anchor the building to the site at both the front and rear, while wooden upper floor structures lighten the feel and add to the warm texture. The upper patio trellis extends through the house over both front and rear decks to demarcate the circulation areas and highlight living spaces. Transom windows and rhythmic post layout ties the pieces together.
