VASTINE RESIDENCE

This home, which perches on a bluff in the East Bay hills, was designed to reflect the feeling and form of the clients' beloved vacation home in the Adirondack Mountains. Although designed with environmental considerations, the building has a classic structure, with the second level covering a long porch that overlooks the primary view. The porch frames the view, brings the outside in, and regulates and distributes natural light to the home's main level.
