The client wanted maximum use of their lot, but most importantly wanted to feel a part of their environment. They didn’t want to feel separated from their gorgeous view.

They wanted the house to be upscale but with a country flare. We designed the fireplace with built in wood storage, making the wood part of the decor of their living room, lending a country feel. A Large door opens the wall to the water, cooling the house with the scent of fresh sea air, giving the feeling of being outdoors. Fully opening windows add to the ambiance.

We take your needs seriously, incorporating your way of living and even your philosophy into the design of your home. The way we see it, you are the Hero of your own story.

Our client is a proponent of Feng Shui, notably the Compass School of thought, where orientation to the cardinal points of the compass is important. She believes certain compass points correlate to the five elements of Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal.

So we designed the house around her philosophical needs, keeping the home in harmony with the environment around it.

Large windows grant all the main rooms a view of the outdoors, enhancing the feeling of living within nature.

As with all our clients, we sought to respect the needs and desires of her lifestyle. The client was very happy with the results and it was a fun learning experience for us.

Family is important in any home design. In this case, the client wanted areas in her home where her visiting family (and grandchildren) could have their own space for extended stays.

Our client wanted a contemporary home that fit well within a forested setting.

And, motivated by the Covid restrictions, she wanted her home to be a comfortable refuge for her family, allowing them plenty of private space for extended stays.

The building is surrounded by windows to give a feeling of living within the environment instead of being separated from it.

There are separate entries into the house, two master suites, one near the front and one in the back, with adjoining children’s rooms. This gives her family some privacy while still sharing the living room and kitchen areas.

Features: Covered outdoor entertainment space • Private pet area • Lots of wall space for artwork • corten steel wall feature
