Project Brief

Design Architect: JLA Architects. (Experience contributed by MAVA Principal while at JLA Architects) Visuals: MAVA Architects. This minimalist new construction navigates a challenging sloped site. The topography dictates a split-level layout, with the entry positioned a full story below the rear grade. Expansive sliding glass doors are utilized throughout to ensure a seamless connection between the modern interior and the outdoors. Composed of two distinct gabled volumes connected by a central glass link, the residence negotiates the steep topography with a split-level design. The minimalist white façade is punctuated by floor-to-ceiling glazing, dissolving the boundary between the interior living spaces and the surrounding landscape.

Seen from the street, the residence presents a crisp, minimalist gable form. The garage door is flush-mounted to blend seamlessly with the white siding, while the primary bedroom positioned directly above features expansive glazing to capture elevated views.

Situated at the site’s upper grade, the rear elevation features a spacious terrace connecting the home’s distinct volumes. Large sliding glass walls open the living spaces directly to the expansive lawn, ensuring a seamless indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining.

The open-concept plan features a dramatic spatial transition, flowing from the intimate dining zone into a soaring vaulted living volume. Anchored by a textured masonry fireplace, the space is flanked by opposing walls of floor-to-ceiling glass, flooding the interior with light and dissolving the boundaries to the outdoors.

Defined by a soaring cathedral ceiling, the primary living volume prioritizes volume and light. Expansive sliding glass walls frame the garden views, while the open-plan layout maintains a fluid visual connection to the adjacent dining area, enhancing the sense of spaciousness.

Blending minimalism with natural warmth, the kitchen features built-in, floor-to-ceiling wood cabinetry and a sculptural waterfall island. Large picture windows integrate the lush exterior directly into the culinary space, utilizing the landscape as a vibrant backdrop.
