What We Love: This energy-efficient home was designed to maximize an indoor-outdoor connection, linking spaces to the garden at every turn. Characterized by clean lines and a modern material palette, this luminous home is designed for entertaining in style. We are especially loving the bedroom with its sliding glass doors leading out to an intimate roof deck with a fireplace, idyllic for sunrise/sunset.
