【正文】 and to heighten the journey from the driveway to the center of the house, we finally decided on a horizontal wood siding system assembled with members of alternating depth to enhance the notion of texture, shadow and perspective. In keeping with our client’s request for uncluttered and lightfilled spaces, and needing to address a tight construction budget, we selected a restrained interior and exterior material palette. Interior walls and ceilings are gypsum board painted white. Windows and doors are typically wood with conventional trim detailing, painted white to amplify the light entering the opening. Casework is recessed and painted white to blend into the walls, and floors are a wideplank white maple. Exceptions to this palette occur at the main living and dining level, where finishes were enhanced to reflect the importance of the more frequently used public spaces. Both the ceiling and floor are treated with white oak to enhance the notion of a space bound by volumes above and below。Looking into exterior courtyard from informal living room.從家庭客廳看戶外庭院。At the top of the exterior entry stair.
