To blend with the streetscape, the clients wanted the house to be subtle, unassuming and private from the front. While it maintains simplicity, the sweeping curve to the front entry hints at the playfulness that continues once inside, and the simple exterior form lets the natural and light materials shine as the focal point. 

This curved wood wall (complete with a circular cut out for the house number) leads guests inside the intimate entry foyer, juxtaposed by a triple sided courtyard facing the side of the lot. The courtyard provides a mental buffer from work to living space, and provides visibility into the core living area. At the back of the house, an expansive wall of windows spans from the sunken living room across the kitchen and dining rooms.
