Light pours in from a skylight and a large window in the stairwell and filters through the filigreed steel screen and wood stair that connects this private level to the family rooms below.

Around the perimeter of this courtyard, three walls of sliding and pocketing glass doors open up to a series of decks and patios that blur the lines between indoor and outdoor.

The continuous order of high canopy trees softly illuminated against the ebonized wood fence frames a large courtyard like area, providing privacy.
