Light, Landscape, and Lasting Design: Buff, Hensman & Smith's Legacy--Perfectly Preserved.The Hamlin House is a masterwork of modernist design--where soaring two-story windows dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, creating a seamless interplay of light, space, and nature. Clean lines and an open-concept layout define the home's architectural clarity, while a recent collaboration with Dennis Smith--the last surviving partner of the original firm--has introduced refined enhancements that honor the home's legacy. A newly integrated guest retreat, a luxurious poolside pavilion, and a bespoke BBQ station elevate the property's livability without compromising its architectural lineage. Inside, a gourmet Miele kitchen features sleek countertops, an induction cooktop with periscope vent, and a crushed mosaic backsplash. Premium upgrades include Toto fixtures, custom cabinetry with original negative reveal detailing, Control4 smart home integration, and a hallway installation by artist Ben Sanders. The primary suite is anchored by a rich geometric wool carpet, echoing the home's thoughtful textures. Surrounded by mature redwoods and vibrant citrus--grapefruit, lemon, and blood orange--the grounds evoke a serene, treehouse-like ambiance. The landscape showcases a shimmering pool, built-in planters, and al fresco entertaining areas, offering modern luxury in a naturally elegant setting.
