Minimalist with moments of rich artistry best describes this five bedroom Japanese inspired house. Clean lines and straightforward fenestrations dominate the exterior. The main entrance is punctuated by simple yet thoughtful wood framing and a solid redwood door softened with frosted glass on the sides.

The shallow pond from the hallway leads to the bottom of the stairs where a school of Koi fish animates the water with its beautiful hues of orange and white. Stair landings are made of glass for an aquarium effect and at the same time allowing sunlight to penetrate through in substantial depth.

The rich redwood adds visual consistency and depth as it is seen in various elements of the house like window trimmings, railings, trellis, main door, etc.
