With walls of glass on either end of the home's living wing, light is able to travel deep into the space. "The back wall faces east and gets morning sun," says architect David Bourke, who paid close attention to the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces when designing the home. "In the afternoon the mountain range is all lit up. It has this fantastic glow."

A moment-resisting frame, fashioned from steel, supports the wall of glass and secures the structure even during times of seismic activity.

A soft, shaggy wool rug with a subtle Moroccan-style pattern anchors the living space, defined by a collection of furnishings — both traditional and contemporary in silhouette — that partner to create an eclectic look.

A play on cozy flannels and classic lodge-style fabrics, oversized plaid prints are used to upholster side chairs and reappear on wool throw blankets.
