The inside of the house continues to reinforce of the idea of endless space. With no “dead ends” within the house and multiple floor-to-ceiling windows, fresh air is constantly circulating through the interior and exterior of the home.

The residence focuses on capturing the lightness of the space. From the architects:
“You become more aware of the views, more aware of the moving sunlight, the time of day and the seasons. This building is not purely the sum of its parts.”
