Every window and door is like it’s own framed landscape painting … made even better when the local wildlife decide to meander in the meadow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1589691008394-T9I893HBLBGNDPXA7PGZ/287-Exterior-2---5.15.20.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It From the hillside above the house is nestled within the sides of the ravine like a mother embracing a child.

The black frames of the doors and transom windows echoed in the black frames of the deck posts enhance the translucency of the exterior wall and create and effect like you are sleeping in the woods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1589691146994-VPN3ZWX27JF396CK7G55/287-Exterior-3---5.15.20.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It The view of the front of the house is purposely understated and heightens the effect of walking through the front doors for the first time. The subtle repetition of the three front vertical windows bring harmony and balance to the composition without overwhelming the visitor. The scale and verticality of those windows are hints for the visitor that there is something special that awaits them inside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1589691190574-B87W1Q88GO9YDQTMZBP6/287-Interior-1---5.15.20.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It When you reach the mezzanine you catch a glimpse of the grandeur of the great room as though you were coming to the edge of a cliff and looking out over the gorge … the white walls like sentinels always on guard … watching, protecting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1589691332828-UWKH3EHFXEP70KD4NMJC/287-Interior-2---5.15.20.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It The view of the waterfall from the mezzanine … like a kaleidoscope of landscape paintings with each pane having it’s own view and personality while at the same time being part of a larger singular identity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1589691507911-KXC0BUYE5424WBARJQXA/287-Interior-3---5.15.20.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It As your eyes pan from the waterfall to the back yard you notice the subtle articulation of the steel beam. The ceiling trough celebrates the beam by creating extra shadow and depth and allows it’s color (similar to the color of the Golden Gate Bridge) to blend seamlessly with the satin finish of the cedar ceiling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1589690749069-CIZZ3GUAMC39A4CFD629/287-Exterior-1---5.15.20.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It The completion of the master bedroom deck and the hot tub deck surround integrate the house with the landscape. A few more finishing touches on the landscaping and the marriage of interior and exterior is complete. Fun little tidbit from the owner is that the frogs in the pond near the house have been serenading them at night recently … and loudly. We’ll take that as a sign that nature also approves of the house and landscape design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1588376177367-7EJIUIZCZNBCYI0BLC86/Allard-Back-Handrail---5.1.20.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It The house is a series of big-picture and small scale details that speak the same architectural language and are translated all the way down to the fasteners of the cable railing for the deck. As with the rest of the house, adjacent design elements are paired to balance the contrast of tones and textures. In this instance, the stainless steel fasteners and cable railing provide a nice contrast to the color of the steel railing (which also matches the exterior windows and doors) and cabinet-quality Ipe (Ironwood) decking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1588376176051-CUNC8PKABXRV2L06V6TD/Allard-Interior---5.1.20.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It Interior view looking back at the mezzanine. The interior as sculpture and not just a series of boxes that are inhabited. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1584144578170-I5I6QZ2TKYH7ZIDGV78W/Allard-Exterior---3.13.20.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It There is a hierarchy of experiences when a visitor arrives at the front door. Even though the design concept is about openness to the outdoors and in the indoor/outdoor experience, we think it is important that the front of the house present itself in a way that is more private. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1583373239690-D69MLFHH7YBWBN7AAITM/Allard-1---3.2.20.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It The metal roof installation has commenced and starts to give the house it’s definition against the sky. The undulation of the battens harmonizes with the window and door placement and adds to the connected-ness of the back yard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1583373502824-Y98YBD2B3QJN2E1P0HF7/Allard+Waterfall+-+3.2.20.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It The interior space is unique with the finished cedar ceiling and white drywall interior walls which blend the interior and exterior into one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1580839903264-HS5XD1EAODIO7HFRETWX/Allard-4---2.3.20.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It Photo of the front entrance with the large oak in the foreground. Miraculously, the large oak trees surrounding the property did not burn during the fires. The main problem with the original house was that you could not see the house from the road. With the new cupola on the ridge the house now has a street presence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1579031657219-S6AOG9AEGILIYGPG0L8D/Allard---1.9.20.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It The view from the interior at the finished cedar ceiling. The play of the natural light around the steel as it reflects against the wood accentuates the spiritual quality of the interior. If you look closely you will also see recessed channels at either side of the steel beams which further accentuates the beams and adds more visual interest to the ceiling by adding additional shadow areas to contrast the highlights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1574381986198-X0E6ZUE50VYRYSXWVBHQ/Allard-Interior.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It Layering of spaces brings a constantly changing panorama and engages all the senses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1573179646705-7YYTYDTDZ2RSL2PKNUNR/Allard2.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It The exterior is headed for completion with a massing that is both uniquely simple and complex at the same time. With the mitered siding wrapping the corners there is a model-like quality that brings the design to a heightened level of abstraction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1573179398267-KE20PVFVIF0A438VYAXL/Allard.jpg A River Runs Through It - A River Runs Through It The interior is taking shape with the installation of the windows.

So we ended up articulating the massing elements with a variety of textures instead. Subtle and effective. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1563378524319-1D7FL71VPO6B79G5FH9V/Dillon-Beach---8.24.19.jpg The Rock at Dillon Beach - The Rock The unusual thing about this property was that the rear property line was only 20’ from the back deck. In order to get a picture of the whole back yard remodel we had to take this photo from a neighboring property. This progress photo also features the criss-cross diagonals at the base of the deck that help stabilize the deck and glass railing system against the high wind loads at the coast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1549566669233-BKCNMN4D756QMK6FX6VJ/Dillon+Beach-Exterior-Almost+Done.JPG The Rock at Dillon Beach - The Rock The goal of the exterior redesign was to combine a variety of siding treatments to make the house appear like a rock outcropping. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a81d2b2f43b553595d6512f/1563378841374-QF8GKBIT3AZ8QE037S98/Dillon-Beach-Railing-Zig-Zag---9.10.16.jpg The Rock at Dillon Beach - The Rock Detail photo of the zig-zag railing section.

According to CALFire, Dillon Beach is considered a moderate fire danger zone … even though there are limited trees.
