Structurally, the home is a feat of precision. Cantilevered over the hillside more than 40 feet above ground on two sides, the design required steel piles driven by a bridge building company, along with a hybrid system of structural steel and wood framing. The rooflines are intentionally non-traditional, and no wall meets another at a standard angle—complexities that demanded close coordination between the design and construction teams. “In every sense, taking the concept on paper and making it a reality was a challenge because it is not standard residential construction,” Kraft Saldivar says. “Everything had to be thought through, outside the box.” Inside, craftsmanship is evident in seamless material transitions. A floating steel staircase with timber treads and metal balustrades feels sculptural yet grounded. Interior warmth The homeowners—an artist couple who led the interior design selections and decisions—wanted the bright, inspiring spaces to reflect their eclectic design taste and support their creative pursuits.
