Design
The design of this home contrasts heavy, grounded masonry walls in stone and plaster with light, elongated cantilevered roofs, creating a visually striking and sculptural effect using minimal structural steel.
A Porte Cochere enhances the entry experience, employing a compression and release effect that amplifies the sense of height and space in the adjoining Great Room.
Meanwhile, the cadence of the window design in the connecting hallway draws attention to a strategically placed art niche, further adding to the home's unique architectural character.
