Materials sourced directly from the property, fallen oaks and redwoods, were created into tables, benches, headboards, and milled siding. End grain and joinery are celebrated throughout, highlighting artisanal craftsmanship and a deep respect for natural materials. Bracketing the main gathering spaces are two open-air passages, or "dog trots," which serve as an entryway and outdoor gathering spaces. These passages divide private quarters from the communal areas. Between them, one large common space designed for cooking, dining, and play fosters a sense of connection to each other and to the land.

Large openings in these areas slide into the walls, transforming the interior into an open-air pavilion that seamlessly transitions to the meadow and oak grove outside. Furniture was designed in collaboration with an interior designer that embody the values of connection and sustainability. A single fallen tree was transformed into a twelve-seat dining table, anchoring the family’s shared experiences. Custom couches around the four-sided fireplace serve as central gathering points, enhancing comfort and connection.

Then master suite and guest bedrooms bracket the communal space, offering a balance of privacy and togetherness. Smaller, intimate spaces such as the reading nook provide moments of respite away from the communal areas.
