Aspect 221 is a multi-experiential home designed for a multi-generational family. Set on a sloping corner property in a 1960's Golden Valley neighborhood, this home offers a variety of ways to connect to the immediate landscapes and distant views. The house itself is divided vertically with interaction between families occurring through the centrally located sculptural stair. Horizontal movement in each direction leads to distinct environments provided for the families; multiple habitats offering variety of space, light, and privacy. Expanding towards the west, the property takes advantage of the sweeping views and provides a perfect opportunity for a walk-out lower level and tuck under garage. The young family occupies the middle and upper floors, while the parents occupy the lower level. Each family has their own private entry and dedicated outdoor space. The home has 4 distinct outdoor spaces; a north shade deck and south sun deck, as well as an upper east lawn and lower west lawn. These spaces provide multiple habitats for the families to come together or move apart, offering variety and privacy. We designed Aspect 221 with a nod to the various “aspects” offered by the site and its natural context. The base of the house is a black monolithic plinth anchored into the hillside, containing the garage and older parent’s home. This allows the upper two floors, enclosed in a fractured white and wood box, to remain humanly scaled and to move and gesture freely by twisting the middle floor off axis, and then twisting the upper floor off axis again. Each level offers views in varied directions revealing the site in different ways as you rise in elevation.

Lake living at its finest. This custom built home situated on Hyco lake has a very open floor plan. The overall footprint of the house is not enormous but the space is very well designed to accentuate the views and nature. This living room face is the lake and is centered around a large stone fireplace open to the kitchen. This view is from the loft… Looking down on the first floor. Design items of note - over dyed vintage area rug - custom made triple ottoman coffe table fabricated with a hide top - oversized sectional in performance fabric - custom printed paint swiped fabric for drapery panels - concrete “sharing” hands end table - leather chair Probably one of the most distinctive design features of the space are the two oversized cross chandeliers fabricated from iron. These distinctive light fixtures set off the industrial vibe and add a fun sculptural aspect to the space

Contrasting the rest of the space, the kitchen is adorned with beautiful dark brown wood flooring. By having a hierarchy of tones within a space, such as dark tones on the floor and light tones on the wall on the ceiling, you can begin to develop a distinct design language, helping influence and design other aspects of the space.
