Rietveld says long sightlines were made
possible by creating two small garages at either
end of the property, rather than one large one.
In terms of the layout, an entryway leads to
a double-height living space. This in turn flows
into the entertainment area that includes indoor
and outdoor kitchens, living and dining areas.
Behind the kitchens is a run of rooms right
down the other side of the home. At the front,
a guest bedroom and upstairs master suite and
parents nook all look out to a mature oak tree.
A family room, further bedrooms and a shared
bathroom complete the upper level.

Top: The double-height living room
includes mirrors in the bookcase that
reflect views out to the pool and
garden environment. Acoustic panels
on the fireplace help reduce noise.
Above: The outdoor kitchen features
a pizza oven and barbecue, and is
separated from the main kitchen
by a glass door. This is line with the
stacking sliders that can enclose
the interiors in poor weather. The
wood portico that frames the kitchen
conceals mood lighting.
