The architect's principal intent was to integrate the home to the beautiful natural landscape as much as possible and live intimately with it, since from the beginning it was the natural landscape that he fell in love with when he bought the property. To that end, extensive use of glass brings the outside into the house, and through the use of the same Jerusalem stone on the floor inside the home as well as outside, it makes it purposely more difficult to distinguish the outside from the inside. Views of the beautiful landscape from inside the house are amplified by glass not only at eye level but also from above through the sloping windows which allow you to see the canopy of the huge trees and feel a greater kinship with them.
The home was designed around the landscape and not a single oak tree was disturbed, although seven palm trees were removed and replanted elsewhere. One of the main landscape design criteria also was to block the views to the neighbors as much as possible, and, indeed, views towards the neighbors are almost nonexistent from anywhere inside or outside the house.
