Custom residence 7,500 sf. + 2000 sf. attached garage.

Sited on a windy hilltop in the Santa Cruz mountains,the H shaped floor plan provides a protected entrance and rear courtyard.  Executed with ICFs to enhance seismic strength and reduce heat-cooling energy demand.

The right wing contains the master bedroom suite with parlor & sewing room, two separate bathrooms and walk-in closets plus two more bedrooms with their respective baths.

The left wing houses the family room, step-down breakfast area, play/video room and guest unit with its bath.   The central core is the living and formal dining room, kitchen and study, with a raised entry and the high ceiling inner space open to the courtyard.

A slanted wing following the topography has a 5-car garage, restroom and exercise/project room above.

(The original courtyard tiled around a fountain was replaced with a swimming pool and green play area upon construction)
