Creek_House1 is a design study for a single family house on a deep wooded lot that is divided by a rippling creek. The presence and sounds of nature are ever present within the social areas of the house. The house opens full width to the rear of the property bringing the native oak forest into the house. The three bedroom house has large cedar lattice screens to the south for shade and privacy.

The house is divided by a covered auto entry court at the first level with a wrap around driveway. At the front on the street level is a side entry garage space that doubles as a home office / art studio. The home entry is at mid point to the interior that brings you into the large interior spaces that eventually open to the tree canopied hillside and a deck over the flowing creek .
