Description

This Battersby Howatt designed home was privately commissioned for a growing family of 5. Subtle and monolithic from the street, the cedar-clad L-shaped structure disguises the home within. Inside, a winning combination of variable ceiling heights, accordion doors, concrete, clean lines and unexpected accents focusing on the heart of every home - the kitchen. All principal rooms, most especially the dining and living room focus on the serene and central courtyard an entertainers dream and family oasis complete with swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, seating area around an outdoor firepit. From this dominant feature, the structure radiates with a cantilevered exterior and interior walls sloping up and outward connected through a 25ft high sky-lit ceiling the supporting backbone of this cohesive open living area; where polished concrete and steel purposefully combine one living space to the next. The ½ acre naturally private property envelopes the home in a blend of mosses, natural grasses, the hardscape and landscape merging with nature. The final result, a modern masterpiece, yet a warm, attractive and functional home.
