Seamless Integration of Innovation and Nature
Harnessing cutting-edge construction technologies, the project team behind this extraordinary residence seamlessly melded the home into the hillside landscape. The structure illuminates with a captivating interplay of natural light shafts, semi-transparent materials, and hidden lighting sources. This creates a dynamic blend of privacy, breathtaking Sierra Nevada views, and evolving lighting experiences that transform throughout the day and night.
“The project's many complexities were handled with precision. The foundation was formed from over 50 complex curves, yet it went smoothly thanks to the skilled and careful work and attention to detail. In my…years of exploring new materials and inventing alternative construction strategies and architectural forms, I rarely find a contractor who delivers what the design team has envisioned as passionately as [this team].”
– Will Bruder, F.A.I.A.
Precision Engineering and Innovative Construction
Spanning 7,700 square feet, this luxury home features bespoke interior and exterior fixtures and surfaces, installed with flawless precision at every joint. To achieve this unparalleled accuracy, the carpentry team transformed conceptual drawings into meticulous field dimensions. Utilizing advanced electronic distance measuring equipment, they established all foundation points, ensuring absolute precision for all trades involved.
Exquisite Materials and Custom Finishes
The residence showcases an eclectic mix of premium materials, including steel, Cor-Ten, stainless steel, copper, concrete, masonry block, aluminum, glass, and fritted glass. Unique design elements are featured throughout—from custom metal garage doors finished in vibrant Ferrari yellow paint to semi-clear resin installations. The wood millwork, crafted by a specialty fabricator, boasts a luminescent pearl finish, adding an elegant touch of sophistication.
