Guest House

This “Balinese” inspired house doubles as a screening room. Its octagonal-shaped living room has one wall completely devoted to a floor to ceiling slate fireplace with hidden speakers and a recessed film screen that mechanically lowers to create a mini theater. The floors are Brazilian cherrywood and the plantation-style vaulted ceilings and doors are paneled with natural reed bamboo. Plantation shutters divide the living room from the bedroom which has ample closet space and an elegant bath. A sweeping sunset and mountain view deck is accessed through the sliding doors off the living area. This is a private vacation retreat just steps away from the main house! Below the house is an extra room that could be used as a child’s playroom or an adult’s yoga room.
