Dinesen
Anchored Living
A West Coast Modern family home built for the long run. The spine of the plan is a stacked flagstone wall that begins at the front door and continues uninterrupted into the main floor—the same wall, the same stone, read from the street and from the living room.
Material Discipline
Wide-plank solid Douglas fir floors by Dinesen run throughout, pickled to a soft white that lets the stone and the fir panelling do the talking. The great room opens to a covered deck through a multi-panel sliding glass wall carried on a single slim steel column at the corner, leaving the ceiling line and the roof overhang continuous from inside to out. Material discipline carries the house: wood, stone, and concrete, chosen because they age well in this climate and ask little of the family living with them.
Built for Living
A concrete fireplace anchors the living room with a single warm panel of fir set into its face. The primary suite is quiet, with a wood-clad headboard wall picking up the same vocabulary. The result is a home detailed for the way a family actually lives, and built to keep doing that for a long time.
