Rebuilt on the framework of the original house, the new design follows the behavior of phototropism — the way plants bend and grow toward light. Open kitchen, living, and dining spaces share illumination from multiple directions, while exposed beams and sloping ceilings stretch upward like branches reaching the sun. A south-facing deck rotates west to capture mountain views, with the existing tree softening summer glare. The breakfast nook cantilevers outward on a V-shaped steel column, projecting into the light like a new limb extending from the canopy. Inside, solar-evocative fixtures and an all-white bathroom amplify and reflect daylight, extending the home’s orientation to the sun deep into its daily life.
