The house
The living room is glass on three sides under a tongue-and-groove ceiling, and it looks straight into the trees on the slope below.
The kitchen was opened to the living room with a stone island. Upstairs from the carport, so there are about twenty steps to the front door.

Mid-century features
- Post-and-beamThe roof rides on exposed beams and posts instead of walls, which frees the walls to be glass.
- Walls of glassFloor-to-ceiling glass, usually sliding, between the living room and the yard.
- Clerestory windowsA band of glass just under the roofline. Daylight all day, and the neighbors still can’t see in.
