Mandeville Mid-century. Mario Fonda-Bonardi, AIA 1982 Restoration & Expansion. Like outstretched arms, the glass-walled wings of this post & beam mid-century home reach to the wooded hillside as if to embrace it. The entire house resonates with its site, flowing to decks and gardens. The public wing with its ten-foot wood ceiling consists of living, dining and kitchen areas – all anchored by the hand-quarried slate floors, which like the structural beams, extend through the glass walls to unite inside with outside spaces. The massive lava rock fireplace with its triangular aperture along with the hand-glazed glass-tile hearth provide energy and focus for the ‘great room.’ A Scandinavian fireplace occupies one corner, and across from it, an ‘inglenook’ beneath the round moon window. Two guest bedrooms with bath; den/study and powder room complete the first floor. Thick-planked, open tread stairs lead from the two-story entry to the private primary suite with walk-in closet, bath, sauna, and its own private deck with an exterior stairway. Virtually every room directly accesses an outdoor space. Wisteria gently shrouds the two-car garage, with bonus workspace, on a U-shaped driveway that provides off-street parking. A true sanctuary for living.
