The home was originally designed in 1975 by a local artist, Roger Marshall, in a popular house style of the 1970's known as "Builder's shed". The most distinct element of this style is the multi-directional shed roof. The house is architecturally unique both in its sculptural massing and its overall layout. The structure is multi-level to take advantage of the gently sloping topography. The clerestory windows allow natural light to warmly illuminate the interior, while displaying the spectacular views of the mountains. As the sun sets over the hills, thousands of stars emerge to brighten the night. From the expansive redwood deck and outdoor spa you can watch the moon rise over this mountain vista. The dramatic entry features a wall mural of the Santa Lucia Mountains, and a three-level fountain that flows beneath the entry stairs. Interior features include post and beam construction with cedar decking and a Craftsman-style stairway leading to a second floor library retreat. Much of the paneling throughout the house came from reused, old growth redwood removed from the guardrail posts on the Cuesta Grade portion of Highway 101. |
