Perched on a steep hillside lot, this modern two-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with steel-accented overhangs is oriented to spectacular north and west views. The site’s 30 percent grade required both design and engineering creativity on the part of the team at Seth Anderson Studio, LLC. The resulting residence flows within the terrain. An elevator links the two-car garage to the main living areas above. Kitchen, living, and office spaces branch off the main gallery hallway, which provides an ideal setting for the owners’ art collection. In the minimalist kitchen, custom dark casework hides built-in appliances, while a custom constellation light fixture from the Netherlands accents the Italian limestone island. The living area’s focal point is the 6-foot steel-encased fireplace. The home’s wine room is another architectural feature and a gathering place thanks to its display shelves and dark walnut and steel table for tastings. In the open-concept primary suite, a custom closet leads to a seating area with a tub and stone-walled shower, and a separate exercise space. A cozy patio off the main and second bedrooms lends privacy within the high desert landscape.
