Situated at the base of the Sierra foothills, this single family residence surrounds a large entry courtyard with a fountain serving as the center-piece. The courtyard also has space for outdoor dining, located off of the kitchen, and a sitting area, perfect for evening entertainment. Though the house in located in a forested area, large roof overhangs were designed to alleviate the intense summer heat. Decks off of the breakfast nook, the living room and the master bedroom blur the line between indoor and outdoor space. The 3,060 square foot house is tightly organized to meet the owners' functional needs and provide a straight-forward design.
