One of the upstairs lofts provides a cozy seating area and ocean views through the treetops. Walls of windows wrap around the space, warming the nook with natural light.

In 2010, an addition was added onto the rear of the home, accessible via a catwalk that appears to float among the redwood trees. A hot tub rounds out the options for relaxing and entertaining in this lush oasis.

A birds-eye view of the multiple loft areas. Simple, exposed conduit lighting runs along the steeply pitched roof, creating a warm glow against the redwood.

Multiple lofts are playfully linked by catwalks that stretch from the northern to the southern end of the home. Yet another loft area is stacked high above, accessible only by a ladder.

The dining space flows into a kitchen. Planks of wood continue to dominate the space, with redwood along the ceiling and walls, and Douglas fir along the floors.

The galley-style kitchen was modernized in 2011 with the addition of new Douglas fir custom cabinetry and Viking appliances. The kitchen countertops stretch along the wall, drawing the eye out sliding glass doors.
