This bold, modern home is located in the West Plaza neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri, which has seen rapid growth in development of new construction over the past few years. A visionary investor, purchased this lot with the intent to build a unique, modern home with an open floor plan to maximize any owner’s style and creativity.

The lot has a reverse slope which required taller than normal foundations which act in combination as retaining walls along the sides and rear of the home. Subsequently, this led to a fantastic garage space that could easily house a lift for multiple cars or even a workshop. The lower level entry opens entirely to the first floor above and is lined by large windows, which allows for a more welcoming entry experience.

There were several design approaches for this home. First, framing the views was a priority. Second, maximizing the outdoor living area. Third, creating flexible spaces which appeal to a broad range of clientele uses. Unique features include floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper two floors, a stunning custom-built steel and wood floating staircase, and a beautiful yet simple modern kitchen with a large waterfall quartz island. Additionally, two private balconies overlooking Westwood Park and a short stroll to the Country Club Plaza.
