The new buildings are clad in vertically ribbed black metal. A consistent pattern of 6-foot wide window and door openings were “cut” from this dark, textured surface to create a ribbon­-like effect.

Garden House’s exaggerated eaves cantilever 10 feet on both sides of the house, creating protected outdoor spaces below and two generous ceiling-height bedrooms and a second bathroom upstairs.

The rest of the exterior is clad in standing-seam white metal panels of varying width.
