The owners wanted a crisp Contemporary home in the midst of a Neo-traditional neighborhood. This home derives design elements from Sea Ranch along the Mendocino coast. The home wraps 270 degrees around the knoll providing panoramic views of the valley below. At the same time the owners had serious media needs. The surfaces are non-coplanar for better acoustic performance and ambient light was a serious problem. Ultimately rear projection provided the brightest picture without sitting in a dark room. The other media consoles are provided with removable panels to allow easy cable and equipment changes.

Each room has temperature sensors embedded in the walls to control HVAC air flow. Windows are fitted with automated blinds to make it easy to cover the huge glass areas with the flip of a switch. All rooms are served with audio and video on-demand.
