The husband and wife who commissioned this residence are accustomed to adventure at work and play. In addition to being trial lawyers, they are also intrepid travelers, having climbed Kilamanjaro, scuba dived Zanzibar, and motored the Pacific Coast on Harley Davidsons – all in one year. When the youngest of their three children left the gable-windowed and dimly-lit house in which the family lived for 20 years, the couple envisioned a calmer lifestyle in a home offering simplicity, order, and peace.
