Renowned architect L. Jane Hastings conceptualized a home both dramatic and unflinchingly practical. Dining and living room wrap around a spacious patio and feature vertical grain fir paneling, soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling Belgian glass windows, and a central fireplace. Custom lights throw ever changing shadows on the ceiling. The serene sleeping wing can be closed off from the more dramatic “common” areas, which include a built-in bar and hidden hi-fi. Perks like a pantry, powder room, and walk-in closet imbue this home with a timeless livability. Extra deep eaves on the backside create dry space in winter, shade in summer, and invite you into the thoughtfully designed native landscape, conceived by landscape architect Ed Watanabe.
