Constructed with fire-hardened materials, this modern family residence sits lightly within an intentionally wild landscape, floating above native oak trees and opening fully to its surroundings. The structure channels expansive views while capturing the warmth of natural light—softening edges, enriching materials, and revealing the depth of its overhangs and cantilevers. Light collaborates with the architecture, animating the interior spaces throughout the day. Inside, the home offers a spare yet warm counterpoint to the richness of the landscape. The design draws inspiration from the family’s years spent adventuring at sea, reimagining the openness, uninterrupted sky, and constant connection to nature that defined life aboard their boat. Retractable glass walls, refined indoor-outdoor transitions, streamlined forms, and a restrained material palette bring this sensibility to life.
