california dreaming - the exterior

The exterior is simple and straight in form while rich in detail. The "red" window frames are the "lipstick" to the muted stucco's complexion. The "L" shape of the overall plan forms a exterior patio and garden space that can be accessed from the kitchen, great room and master bedroom to ensure a carefree and "bare foot" life style. This home was featured on the CBS News Sunday Morning annual design program in the summer of 2010. This show included an interview with Sarah Susanka describing how this home incorporated ideas from her best selling book, "The Not So Big House."
