Equestrian Dream Home

by Martin Bros. Contracting, Inc.

A horse lover's dream home designed by Helman Sechrist Architecture. You will readily note the equestrian details on the exterior of this beautiful, sprawling 5,500 sq. ft. ranch home. The client wanted a large central space so that if someone was in the kitchen and someone else near the fireplace, they were still together. They ended up with a roomy gathering space that encompasses the kitchen, formal and informal dining areas, and living area. Lowered ceilings over portions of the space, such as the formal dining area, keep it from feeling cavernous. Floor-to-ceiling columns between the sections also provide a sense of separation while allowing for visual integration. A coffer design on the high living-area ceiling also lends a sense of coziness.
