The open floor plan was important to this home’s design. “On a weekend, there’s a minimum of 10 or 12 people staying at the home. They want to be together in one space,” Clark says. In this home, being together can take place indoors and out, simultaneously, in the three outdoor living spaces. “One outdoor space sits in front of the master bedroom, there’s one in front of the living room and one with a fire pit.”
To add interest to the home, Clark used board-formed concrete throughout it for an interesting effect. “The concept is to make concrete look like wood. The concrete oozes between the boards and takes on the texture of the wood; you can even see the knots in the wood. We like the 2x6 wood because of its width,” he says.
