Entry Description

The Cube, in the Santa Cruz Mountains, integrates art and function within the redwood forest. Light bar illumination mimicking trees, transforms the nights. An enigmatic door, akin to a bank vault, invites curiosity, concealing the inside. Precision, seen in a cantilevered window and massive sliding door, immerses guests 50 feet above, with the trees. Post-CZU fire, the house prioritized fire safety, using low maintenance steel and concrete. An energy-efficient rain screen system and solar panels enhance sustainability. Meticulous design minimizes excess, merging luxury with eco-consciousness.
