Greaves Residence

Custom Residence 5,000 sf. + 1,900 sf. detached garage.

Located in a secluded and densely wooded estate in the Santa Cruz mountains, this residence was designed to be built with pre-cut elements, reducing thus the assembly time and waste generated.  The floor plan is compact for energy efficiency, grouping the different spaces around the great room open to extraordinary views and all day sun path.  It has the master bedroom suite and bath on the upper floor, open to the morning sun with a glass sunroom, and to the yard through a large tiled balcony, and a study overlooking the high-ceiling room below.On the ground floor the great room is directly connected to the bar counter of the kitchen and to the rear formal dining room and decks.

From the entry, a separate access connects to two therapy groups rooms, toilet and guest unit with its bath.  The basement houses a wine cellar, storafe and mechanical rooms.

A detached 4-car garage has also another group/meeting room and a bathroom on the upper floor.
