Jesse takes a holistic approach to his design seeing through the entire plan, including custom-home design, interior design, landscape design, and furnishings, so he is able to weigh the impact of his decisions on the overall environment. This greatly impacts proportions, flow, functionality, and aesthetics. Master planning a design achieves seamless connections between spaces that transcend indoor and outdoor space division, as well as the limitations of multi-storey designs. Here, the full-height great room is surrounded by a mezzanine hallway that leads to the bedrooms. Jesse specifically designed this feature to create a sense of connectivity between the beauty of the ground-floor tree and the second-floor living areas. The renderings are a great example of how this level of master planning can aid in maximizing natural light. In this case, Jesse directs morning light between spaces using a symmetrical alignment of the foyer with the rear two-storey window wall. The result is that guests are greeted upon entry with luxurious views of both the inside as well as the lush exterior landscape. More importantly, the main floor olive tree feature receives the amount of direct natural light it needs to survive.
