REDWOOD

This home is designed to let the surrounding redwood forest take center stage, embracing simplicity in both form and function. The clients sought a space that would blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, creating a serene, unobtrusive presence within the sloping lot.

As you approach from the driveway, the home’s low-lying form disappears into the forest, with its dark exterior harmonizing effortlessly with the towering trees. The architecture features two narrow, peaked roof structures connected by a discreet corridor, balancing the downhill masses while providing a sense of continuity and flow.

The twin structures create a sheltered alcove for outdoor living spaces on both the main and lower levels, offering protection from coastal winds and a tranquil retreat for enjoying the natural surroundings. Every detail of this home reflects a commitment to maintaining simplicity and durability against the coastal elements, ensuring that the beauty of the architecture never overshadows the majesty of the forest.
