Interior
- GeneralAncient and mid-century modern designs converge in this cliff-side 3 BR / 2 BA, 2565 Sq Ft home designed by architect Bill Smith and his wife, Penny. Living spaces are stacked on several levels and open to the sun. Cedar siding, a curved stair tower, and a greenhouse bump-out soften the geometry of the upper levels. The cedar-clad walls extend above the roof to conceal an array of solar panels. Beyond the entry, solid walls give way to dramatic open spaces. A circular stairway near the front door curves up to the master suite, and a tiled passageway leads to the two-story living room, which opens to the central kitchen with a buffet counter perfect for entertaining. Deep overhangs, broad ledges and a boxed pillar add sculptural depth to the free-flowing interior
