The brief was straightforward for this house: “my family wants a wide open first floor with rooms connected to each other and wide open views throughout the house and to the bay. We love cozy, private bedrooms too. We love mid-century Modern, but also classic Shingle Style houses of the 1800’s. . . . Can we do that?” Here’s the result – crisp, clean, modern geometries evoking classic East Coast houses with private bedrooms dramatically cantilevered on four massive piers over a wide open first floor.
