The Lewis Kestrel residence embodies an older spirit with its craftsman style theme and modern open plan. The warm wood siding characteristic is brought through to the interior through the hickory floors and the extensive maple cabinetry, trim, and doors. The soft maple provides a warm and comfortable living environment while providing excellent spaces for both formal and casual entertaining. The soft wood edges and corners feel good to the touch and are pleasing to the eyes. The maple coffered ceiling and bookcases in the parlor can be closed off by two large sliding doors to form a cozy fireplace nook.
