from raw to refined

Slatted Light

Light entry is choreographed through vertical wood screens that filter the California sun, deciding how much gets in and where it lands — all across a facade rooted in raw stone and native landscape that is quietly confident from the outside in.The interior finishing had to carry that same restraint: warm, precise, completely intentional. Nothing added that didn’t need to be there.
