Fern Valley House

With its sophisticated black metal siding and mid-century inspired design, this reimagined Bonniebrook home is a stunning statement set amongst West Coast ferns and forest. Not only does it achieve a seamless balance between indoor and outdoor spaces, the home was also built under tight timelines and budget constraints, to great success. 

Built with a sloped roof, expansive decks, and large overhangs, this single-story home was also constructed on an angle—its larger lot size meant the structure didn’t have to fall in line with surrounding homes. These characteristics all work to invite natural light and allow for year-round enjoyment of forest views and filtered sunsets through highly efficient triple-pane windows. Ample plywood, with edges exposed, was also used as a design detail in many of the finishings, such as the windowsills. The end result is a family home that embodies style, comfort, and a deep connection to the surrounding landscape.
