Rebuilt from an old ranch in 1954, in Orinda, in the United States, this house located at the foot of a hill, near a seasonal stream, has been renovated with the utmost commitment to nature for eco-sustainability and low energy impact .

The only surviving part of the house is the chimney, wrapped in cement and used as a structural support (pillar).
Leaving the oak that has always grown up next to the house, giving a vision of the connected nature next to those who live there.
Natural light for a unique environment
The house is naturally lit, from the immense windows that surround the whole house.
These windows with high insulation, thermal, are developed in height, in all the floors of the house, surrounding the house, with light.
The screen that surrounds the house, along all the external corridors composed of steel carten in leather, without any maintenance, serves to shelter from the sun in the hot season.
Ecological lifestyle for a home made with natural materials
The real protagonist present throughout the house is the solid wood parquet found everywhere in every corner of the house, even the ceiling is covered in wood, while the lights are set in the ceiling imitating natural light with minimal design.
On the upper floor we find the modern study and bedroom, white walls, a huge window that illuminates the soft environment, a large gray carpet, a modern design bed, with a quilted bedside, a floor lamp in steel.
Beautiful large prints that follow one another on the bedside table, and small tables that replace the usual bedside tables, along with the maxi bench upholstered in black fabric.
Modern and contemporary design
The kitchen opens onto a large window, furnished with a contemporary design and modern imprint.
The construction between the oak doors and the white worktop and the fridge with two doors in polished steel stands out.
Round glass table, placed outside, on the corner between a huge corridor and the kitchen, to eat outside even outside in the open air.
The living area is furnished with over-sized modular sofas, a linear white minimal table, a serene and spacious environment with a soft effect, a relaxed lifestyle immersed in nature.
Large prints, like an art gallery decorating the huge white wall, black piano, elegant brass floor lamp with white sphere, which furnishes the living area with style.
The side wall covered in wood like the ceiling, carpet with neutral colors like gray.
Long corridor furnished with benches and ottomans with wooden stools, all in neutral colors, for maximum comfort and refined design.
Scandinavian style for maximum comfort
The house is a huge open space, which gives off light in every area, reflects a Scandinavian style, giving a sense of lightness and tranquility to the environment.
