The closeup of the garage roof massing reveals a few of the above-noted details, including striking proportions that serve to create overhangs over both the garage door and front entrance doors. This sleek integration of function within a singular form speaks to the simplicity Jesse was seeking from this design. In addition to this, we wanted to point out the dividing wall that extends from the corner of the garage door was designed by Jesse to create a visual distraction from the existence of the garage when approaching the front door on foot. Between these two features, Jesse has created a modern vestibule of sorts that integrates form and function harmoniously.

The main floor office and parlor rooms feature floor-to-ceiling window walls that are almost flush with the surrounding lot grading. This detail “grounds” the home within its natural surroundings, creating a subtle and intuitive indoor/outdoor connection.

Inside, the combination of the home’s unique exterior proportions and window proportions creates a light-filled interior space that instantly feels architecturally interesting upon entry. These same windows also serve to further Jesse’s intention of creating a contemporary character within the space. Of course, Jesse sought to dampen this effect, and he did so by aligning exterior gardens with these rigidly contemporary window walls to create a connection to the surrounding natural features.
