Contrasting materials are highlighted
in the kitchen, which features natural and man-made materials such as roughhewn
wood beams, stainless steel countertops and raw concrete block walls. The
butterfly shape of the roof slopes down to create a chute which funnels water
into a reservoir for the garden. A two-story atrium space, the bedrooms and
a study on the second floor are situated to take advantage of the views toward
a ravine and lake.
