With views of the water and surrounded by trees, the design intent was to create as many connections to the natural surroundings as possible. Separate wings surrounding a central core great room were used to create a private yet connected feeling throughout the home.

Single level living was a prime focus when developing the layout with as many oversized windows as possible to bring the beauty of nature inside. Similar decisions were made when selecting the finishes for both the exterior and interior of the home. A vein of continuity running throughout with finishes that take inspiration from the warmth and texture of its surroundings while staying true to the client’s clean modern aesthetic.
