The idea

How it lives

The house folds around a court. A tall cedar-clad great room holds the kitchen, dining and living; the bedroom wing sits across the court, and a glass gallery joins them along a lap pool. A covered terrace off the great room makes the court an outdoor room, with a fire court out in the yard.

  • A court with a pool

    The great room and the bedroom wing frame a court with a lap pool, a pool deck and the primary terrace.

  • A glass gallery

    The hall to the bedrooms is glass along the pool, so the court is in view on every trip through the house.

  • A cedar great room

    Kitchen, dining and living share one tall room under a shed roof that rises toward the court.
