Theodore Wirth Residence

Set into a steep hillside on an urban-sized lot, Switchback takes its cues from the site. The home terraces up the slope, creating distinct connections to the landscape at each level. 

Inside, the main living spaces wrap around the central greenspace, creating a series of visual and physical connections to the backyard.

Upon entering, a custom wood slat detail guides you through the home, framing the transition into the great room and wet bar. The layered millwork adds warmth and definition while creating a natural progression through the space.

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame expansive views of the landscape, while the wet bar opens toward the backyard through a side sliding door, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. 

A side sliding door extends the living space outdoors, creating an easy connection between the interior and backyard.

The towering stair is framed by two distinct wings of the home, creating secluded, yet connected moments on each level.

A custom relaxation nook is tucked behind the kitchen, overlooking a green roof. A wraparound bookshelf defines the nook, creating a quiet, distinct space within the larger kitchen.

The kitchen anchors the space with grain-matched white oak cabinetry and a refined, continuous finish.

Upstairs, a dedicated laundry room, kids’ bedrooms, and a private primary suite create a thoughtful retreat from the main living spaces.

The lower level brings together a tucked-away play space beneath the stairs, a second wet bar, and a dedicated sauna and exercise room.
