In 1984, researcher Roger Ulrich proved what great architects have always known -- nature heals. Patients who could see trees from their hospital window recovered faster and needed less pain medication than those facing a brick wall. // They would not have been surprised by this finding back in 1909, the height of the Craftsman movement. It was born from a simple conviction -- that homes built from honest natural materials, incorporating as much of nature into the design of the home, made people feel better. Its biggest proponents were designing for human wellbeing long before science caught up. // Dixon/Kirby understands this tradition deeply. This home is pure Craftsman -- not as nostalgia, but as driving philosophy. Custom oak cabinetry, African and Calacatta marble floors, quartzite counters, hand-crafted Moroccan tile, and wood ceiling detail layer natural material upon natural material. Oversized windows frame a preserved natural area the way great architecture always has -- deliberately, as if the view itself is a feature. // The back porch, anchored by its own fireplace, feels as much a part of the interior as the rooms within. // Anchored in history. Built for permanence. Designed to nurture and restore the soul.©
