Ridgeline Residence is a modern whole house design for a hillside home in Orinda, California, where New Key Construction layered walnut, limestone and steel framed glass along the ridge.
Stone stairs climb past a planted retaining wall to a walnut clad entry, and the living room opens through pocketing glass to a pool, a spa and a pergola covered outdoor kitchen. Inside, a walnut ceiling runs over a linear fireplace, a limestone waterfall island and a dining room framed by Japanese maples. Bedrooms, a music room and spa bathrooms in honed stone and walnut complete a home designed for long views and long evenings.
