The main house contains open living, dining, and kitchen space inspired by an artisans open studio and also contains the owner’s suite and guest spaces. The cottage like space above the three car garage houses a guest studio opening to the rooftop balcony.

Interior finishes such as reclaimed Pennsylvania barnwood used for flooring and beams are accented by colorful tiles and tapestries brought back from the owner’s homeland.
