The design of the Gray House features the intricate detailing and complex structural forms that became hallmarks of Jones’ work. Its multi-level design steps with the slope of the site, further embedding it within the environment. The interplay of light and shadow, combined with the use of natural ventilation, adds to the home’s sense of organic connection.
Restored
