Featured in Luxury Life & Style in 2008, this home was designed around the intersection of two thick walls that extend through both legs of the L-shaped layout. A circulation gallery runs along the interior edge of the walls and focuses attention on the pool and backyard spaces. A detached garage with accessory space above completes the back area of this corner lot. Wood and stucco volumes interlock to create spacious rooms. A translucent glass stairwell brings in light from the street side without sacrificing privacy. Transom windows at the three end and corner towers make use of the available height, and a full basement below the main floor provides even more storage and guest space.
