8947 Deerwood Rd

A walkout ranch set into a wooded hillside.

One level at the street and two at the back, where the lot falls away to the trees. The great room is a wall of black-framed glass onto a full-width deck, and the yard below is held by boulder walls laid course by course.

11601 Ember Rd

A lakeside ranch, photographed before the lawn went in.

Built on a wooded point above the water. Inside, a vaulted great room is centred on a stacked-stone fireplace with built-ins either side, and the windows are placed for the lake rather than the road.
