The front facade shows the Cor-Ten steel panels that wrap the second floor of this home. The panels, which were painted chocolate brown to hide the rust stains typically associated with weathered steel, have different types of bends and various amounts of circles. The type of space or wall behind the panel determined the type of panel used. If there was a window that needed light and some privacy, a panel with more holes was used, but if there was a wall of stucco, a panel with fewer holes was used.

The entryway features a handrail made of the leftover circle cutouts from the exterior facade panels. The eye-catching railing makes a bold statement in the sleek, minimalist space.

The inspiration for this home, the Italian stone pine tree in the backyard, can be seen in two separate spots in this space. The trunk is visible out the far windows, and the canopy is visible through the skylight. A long feature wall of cabinets stretches from the entry all the way to the kitchen, offering ample storage throughout the space. The cabinets hide everything from a coat closet at the entry to a refrigerator in the kitchen.

The sleek wood cabinets in this kitchen hide the refrigerator, freezer dishwasher and a pull-out pantry. Concrete floors are a nice contrast to the warm cabinets, and a radiant floor heating system ensures the floors are cool to the eyes but not the feet.
