Inside, the home spans 1,750 square feet. An open layout connects the primary living spaces, all of which were structured to take advantage of the encompassing landscape. For example, large, sliding glass walls in the dining area extend the space to the wraparound decking, blurring the lines between inside and out. As a result, plentiful natural light and fresh air weaves throughout the interior.
Upon entry, custom woodwork contrasts with white walls, becoming a main focal point. Hand-plastered interior walls are also used as partitions in the open living areas.

Traditional Japanese influences mark the design, seen in wooden finishes and custom shoji used to subtly divide spaces. Other notable features include hand-plastered interior walls, designer appliances, and radiant heating throughout.
The entry hallway leads to the kitchen and dining area, which features soaring, vaulted ceilings. Exposed wooden beams emphasize the lofty sense of space.
