Reflected wave patterns dance on the low sloped upper wood ceiling while presenting a modest low-profile street parti. The side entry garage dissolves into a trellised entry progression, creating movement through the light and shadows. The main level entry, kitchen, dining, living, large bedroom and bath, laundry, stair, elevator, half bath and garage are anchored by and pinwheel off the central fireplace.

The palette of materials consists of naturally finished douglas fir beams, decking, trim and doors, ponderosa pine windows, bamboo and limestone flooring, no V.O.C. painted drywall and thin cut bluestone.
