The modern interior in this house is not really simple at all. It has some materials and colors that are also inspired by the landscape. The room volumes and ceiling height are different from each other, creating more spacious rooms toward the views.

The kitchen, dining, and living are grouped together to make a central gathering space inside the house. Those rooms are also designed with light shelves and roof extensions, creating a clear line and definition between the vertical spaces among them.

The sculptural staircase in the house is featured with the custom chandelier, showing the two main axes intersection of the house. This cozy private retreat extends to the north with its primary axis of the building construction, offering a larger place to enjoy life.

The smooth concrete is used to reflect the light and color inside the house interior. Even when winter comes, the sun-warmed entry can make a comfortable transition. The cedar siding is combined with an antique African mask look contrast with the custom door pulls, made from leather and bronze.
