This 'transitional' home blends traditional materials with modern architectural expression. Not a detail was missed in the design of this custom home; from custom trim to brick quoining to custom steel doors/ windows and elaborate ceiling treatments this home was finished at the highest level. The exterior of the home is characterized by white clapboard siding, lime-washed brick, all steel doors and windows, wood shingle roofing, and accent metal roofing and gutters. The classical detailing adds sophistication to this Hollywood Regency style home in contrast with contemporary architectural elements such as large steel window walls and pocketing doors. Our design intent behind the architectural style was to design a traditional home that appeared to have existed in the neighborhood for decades in complement with certain improvements or modernization occurring over time. This is our definition of transitional and in our eyes creates a truly timeless look.

Designed for family life and entertaining, the open concept floor plan connects the many levels of the home to indoor and outdoor living spaces. A sunken courtyard at the center creates dramatic moments and opportunities to look down upon the courtyard and across to the beautiful lime-washed brick backdrop. The atrium showcases a flawless staircase consisting of a three story brick wall with natural light washing down from above, cantilevering open stair treads, standoff glass guardrails, and finished with an artist’s touch weaving down the wall and interacting with the stair.

Between the primary living spaces, the office, the media/game room, wine bar, master suite, and outdoor living it is hard to determine where to best spend time. The success of this project was driven by design-build collaboration and the hard work of many trades.
