The second project in a series of Umbrella Houses designed as market homes for Urban Infillers. This development features a pair of houses that are laid into a steep hillside. Both houses have a building section that steps up the hill until it reaches a point where the main floor can be connected to a level yard that is terraced into the hillside. Each kitchen features a ten foot wide fold/slide door that can open completely onto a garden terrace that is covered with a clear greenhouse roof, providing ample opportunity to open the interior living spaces of the house to the decks and landscape beyond.

Following in the footsteps of the Phinney Ridge prototype, the house features a stucco exterior with recessed trimless windows, low maintenance finishes, and a commercial grade envelope design. On the interior we continued with the minimalist trim profiles and flush base details for the millwork. Bathrooms and kitchens are accented with a variety of durable and distinctive finishes, including oversized porcelain tiles, ceramic mosaics, glass mosaics, limestone tile, and granite slabs
