Contemporary Craftsman
With elements inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, this two-story residence orients the fireplace in the heart of the family room. An exposed copper flu projects through the ceiling and draws the eye upward toward the vaulted ceiling detailed with dark-stained craftsman millwork. The south-facing vertical windows allow light to enter deeply into the main living space throughout the day, giving this typically darker style continuous light.

Project Summary: This 5,600-sq-ft home reinterprets Craftsman design through modern light, material richness, and architectural precision.
Client Vision: The clients sought a warm, finely crafted home filled with daylight and honest materials.
Project Challenges: Balancing Craftsman weight with modern openness required nuanced proportions and careful glazing strategy.
Solution: A central hearth with copper flue anchors the design, while tall windows and vaulted ceilings bring balance and light. The finished design is a timeless union of craftsmanship, warmth, and modern elegance.
