Introduction
A modern Craftsman, rooted in detail, open to the landscape.
Tanglewood reinterprets the Craftsman tradition through a modern lens—where structure, landscape, and lifestyle are seamlessly interwoven. The architecture is defined by its clarity of form and material honesty, yet softened by a deliberate openness that invites the surrounding environment inward.

A harmonious blend of timeless craftsmanship and contemporary design, Tanglewood reimagines the classic Craftsman style with clean lines, natural materials, and thoughtful details. Warm wood tones, tapered columns, and exposed beams meet sleek metal accents and expansive windows, inviting both comfort and modern sophistication. Every corner celebrates handcrafted quality while embracing open, light-filled living.
Stone paths meander through native plantings, seating areas tuck into soft corners, and the terrace subtly rises toward the rear, framing long views and catching the sky’s changing light. This flowing, sculpted terrain draws people out from the interiors—whether from the open kitchen, the living space, or the master suite—and invites lingering, gathering, and quiet reflection. The backyard is not just a destination, but a passage that deepens the home’s dialogue with nature.
The backyard at Tanglewood unfolds as an organic extension of the home—terraced with subtle, natural elevation shifts that create both movement and intimacy. Each level of the garden is carefully orchestrated to guide visitors and inhabitants alike through a sequence of outdoor rooms that feel both spontaneous and intentional. At its heart, a fire pit anchors the space—its circular form contrasting gently with the surrounding geometry, offering warmth, conversation, and pause.
At the heart of the home, a large open kitchen opens directly to the exterior through pocketing multi-slide glass doors, creating a seamless environment where indoor entertaining flows effortlessly into outdoor gatherings. Rich wood, stone, and metal details anchor the design in timeless craftsmanship, while spacious living and dining areas bask in natural light and warmth.
The expansive master bedroom is a tranquil retreat that opens effortlessly to the outdoors, framing serene views of a lush garden through floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors. Its seamless connection to a private courtyard creates an intimate sanctuary, where indoor comfort meets the calming presence of nature. This harmonious blend of space and greenery offers a peaceful escape, balancing openness with privacy in perfect measure.
This Modern Craftsman is a study in seamless blending of interior and exterior spaces. Thoughtfully designed openings, generous windows, and covered porches create a fluid connection between warm, handcrafted interiors and the surrounding natural landscape. The interplay of wood, stone, and metal details grounds the home in tradition while embracing modern openness and light.
Beyond, the carefully crafted backyard rises in elevation, designed not just as a garden, but as a sculpted experience—one that lifts the eye above the roofline to frame sunsets, distant vistas, and the drama of passing storms. This intentional layering of space and nature creates an ever-shifting backdrop of beauty and calm, offering surprise and serenity throughout the day. Together, the bedroom and garden form a quiet dialogue between architecture and the living world.
Summary
Tanglewood is a modern interpretation of Craftsman sensibility, where architecture and landscape are composed in quiet harmony. Anchored by an open, light-filled plan, the home blurs the line between interior and exterior through expansive glazing, fluid spatial transitions, and a seamless connection to the surrounding gardens.
The master suite serves as a private retreat, unfolding into a secluded courtyard and framed by a curated backyard that rises in soft terraces. This sculpted landscape draws the eye above the roofline to capture sunsets, distant vistas, and shifting skies, offering an ever-evolving sensory experience.
At the heart of the outdoor composition, a fire pit invites gathering and reflection, its circular geometry grounding an organic arrangement of native plantings, meandering paths, and layered spaces. From intimate moments in the private garden to communal life around the fire, Tanglewood is a home where crafted detail and natural rhythm coalesce into a living, breathing environment.
