Sheltered by mature trees in Santa Monica’s Rustic Canyon area, this contemporary mountain lodge-style house was built using some of the original materials from a cabin that once stood on the site. The great room fireplace was created from stones that were salvaged, numbered and then reassembled. Original eucalyptus supports the built-in seating nook and upper balcony. Lodgepole pine timber from Montana forms the home’s framing.
