Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Connection of the Modern F-5 Residence in California

What we will feature today is the F-5 Residence located on a valley site in Indian Wells, California. It a one-storey home comprised of 5,300 square feet, with four-bedroom, four bathrooms and an adjacent guesthouse. The site also maximizes the expansive mountain views with a seamless connection between the interior and exterior landscape.

F-5 Residence made us of cast-in place concrete and masonry, corten steel, glass, and Ipe wood siding. When you enter the hose, you can see a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass doors that denotes the end of an open concept living, dining and kitchen area. It has an outdoor living space with a covered patio that encompasses a fire pit and bar and is adjacent to a 60-foot sparkling pool. The landscaping is covered with drought-tolerant and native plantings like palms, cactus, yucca, fruit trees, desert grasses and boulders. It also has an Ipe wooden deck. Aside from the main house, there is a 460 square foot guesthouse and outdoor shower.

The pool area is one of the highlights of this modern home that add a refreshing appeal to the outdoor area.

Upon entering the home, you can see the use of various materials that made the house look stunning.

The landscape of the house has desert plants and trees that give it a modern appeal.
