From the Agent: "Presenting Phoenix House, a fresh modern home that reawakens midcentury modern ideals. Designed by acclaimed architect D’Arcy Jones, it stands as an homage to Ron Thom’s previous design on this very site and applies the same hexagonal grid he once used to yield an architecture in dialogue with its natural environment. Up close, the home exhibits both a sense of repose and dynamism, exuding an organic elegance with bold cedar cladding that acts as counterpoint to its sculptural geometry. From within, an angled plan expression maximizes view corridors via expansive curtain-wall windows, intimately showcasing the natural forest surroundings."
