Within the Residence, main level living space brackets the courtyard; tall sliding doors allow for the kitchen and home office to expand, both visually and physically, into the open courtyard void. Additional multi-door openings open to pleasant views looking both down and across the planted site. At the second level, a spine of circulation connects to two ‘wings’ of bedrooms, similarly bracketing the courtyard. Openings along the south wall of circulation employ a slatted cedar screen for shade.
