Exterior Home Design: Natural Lighting & Shadows

The remodel of this home is stunning, we love the exterior slat work made of deep brown ipe wood that conceals the home, provides cooling shade and gives this renovation a modern flair. When you enter the home the sunshine in it's horizontal striped patterns give the all-white interior a unique ambiance. Green design efforts weren't overlooked - at the top of the stairwell, skylights open thermostatically, so the atrium functions as a natural solar chimney — one of several environmentally friendly features.
