A sublimely crafted modernist masterwork in King City

The house announces itself rather demurely by twin fieldstone posts capped by coach lamp-style fixtures. There is nothing past the gate but trees. A forest.

As you navigate the little twists and turns, you wonder why the architect pushed his work so far into the dense lot. With almost 13 hectares to play with, it seems an odd choice. And then the house swings into view, and you gasp. Because he must place it there, you think; there’s no other place this house could exist.
