BH&G Five Star Home #1603

In Five Star 1603, large floor-to-ceiling windows open living and dining areas to outdoors. Terrace on private side becomes outdoor living area and has a prominent place in family activities. Kitchen is within easy snack-carrying distance. Roof overhang is deep enough to shelter glass from weather, yet allows low winter sun to slip under to warm house. 

Exterior walls are brick and random width boards of redwood. Bedrooms were placed on streetside so living area could open out on terrace in rear. Roof extends to cover walk to garage.
