Sunshine floods the double-height living room on the ground floor via two small, square skylights.
Overwhelmingly bold colors originally adorned the walls, distracting from the bright ambience, so Gromer painted them stark white to let catchy mod furnishings and kicks of color come to the forefront.
Hoyt's coworkers designed the tall wall art piece. The painted lumber pieces are by Lafayette artist Brooke Indest-Wilke. The glass head was picked up at Pier 1 and then filled with green Styrofoam balls.

The house is organized around the atrium and pool, where sunlight pours down from an expansive glass retractable roof. Large windows allow nearly every room in the house to benefit from the natural light.

This second-floor dining room overlooks the pool atrium on one side and the living room on the other.
Hoyt bought the painting from a local art vendor. He inherited the pendant light chandelier from the previous owner; it's made from three slightly modified Ikea floor lamps.

With a glass roof and year-round heated pool, the atrium often takes on a greenhouse-type atmosphere.

So it's a good thing Hoyt can manually open the skylight roof by pulling on this chain system from the ground to air the space out.

A sliding glass door connects the living room to the pool area, which is literally steps away.

This long, linear corridor next to the pool leads from the front door to a guest bedroom and bathroom beyond the pool. Hoyt had all the sliding doors and windows replaced with double insulated glass. The floors are original to the house and are thought to be Mexican terra-cotta tile. The stainless steel fish cutout was designed by graphic designers with whom Hoyt works.

The corridor runs past a solid wooden door leading to the room where Hoyt spends most of his time at home. Surprisingly, it's the darkest room in the house and one of only two rooms that aren't directly adjacent to the atrium. The only natural light penetrating this room comes from the doors leading to the back porch.

The long, linear corridor along the atrium is repeated on the second floor, leading from the stairs past the dining room and then the kitchen, ending at the master bedroom and bathroom.
The kitchen remains open enough along the glass-lined corridor to be illuminated by the skylight.

The pattern-filled master bedroom, which overlooks the pool, reflects the homeowner's interest in graphic design.

The exterior was in desperate condition when Hoyt bought the home; renovations such as the white stucco piece around the entry gave it a much-needed facelift.

Winter is an opportunity to invite friends over for beers around the backyard fire pit. The balcony on the second floor gives an unobstructed view to an undeveloped, open area of land that's soon to become the largest park in the city.
