The building is designed as three simple volumes that are shifted in relationship to each other to define exterior spaces as well as to modulate volume and light within the house.

The architecture features a simple palette of materials (concrete floors, stainless steel counters, aluminum framed doors and windows, wood cabinets and shelves, blackened steel, and sand colored mosaic tiles) within the white painted walls and ceilings.

Alternately pitched roofs create sliced triangular apertures above, while expanses of ribbon windows and banks of glazed doors bathe the interior in light. Glass transoms above the interior doors allow the light to pass from room to room.

The exterior of the house is finished in white polished stucco, with corrugated metal eaves. The garden is paved with simple etched concrete and sand colored smooth pebbles, and accented by corten steel walls, gates and borders. The perimeter of the property is planted with screens of Feijoa, bamboo, Podocarpus, and Schinus molle. The plantings beds feature a carpet of trailing sedum with banks of Anigozanthus, Phormium, Echevaria, octopus agave, lavender, redleafed Japanese maple and ginger.
