Clad in striking black Canadian shiplap cedar and privately positioned amongst thoughtfully landscaped grounds, this exceptional single-level residence is a masterclass in contemporary architectural design. Its distinctive U-shaped footprint has been carefully conceived to embrace natural light, allowing the sun to move gracefully around the home throughout the day while creating a seamless connection to sheltered outdoor living.
