Photographer: William J. Hebert • The best of both traditional and transitional design meet in this residence distinguished by its rustic yet luxurious feel. Carefully positioned on a site blessed with spacious surrounding acreage, the home was carefully positioned on a tree-filled hilltop and tailored to fit the natural contours of the land. The house sits on the crest of the peak, which allows it to spotlight and enjoy the best vistas of the valley and pond below. Inside, the home’s welcoming style continues, featuring a Midwestern take on perennially popular Western style and rooms that were also situated to take full advantage of the site. From the central foyer that leads into a large living room with a fireplace, the home manages to have an open and functional floor plan while still feeling warm and intimate enough for smaller gatherings and family living. The extensive use of wood and timbering throughout brings that sense of the outdoors inside, with an open floor plan, including a kitchen that spans the length of the house and an overall level of craftsmanship and details uncommon in today’s architecture. •

Designing this Mt. Lookout home for our clients was such a treat! The kitchen banquette cushions are pretty much bulletproof, which is a requirement for young families with kids. We designed custom cabinetry for the living room to allow for the display of lots of family photos and storage for games underneath. My personal favorites, the bold navy velvet sofa and black lacquered coffee table were the inspiration for this sleek living room. Custom design eat-in banquette built-in for kitchen dining area. Full living room design including furniture, rugs, lighting, and accessories. Living room custom design of built-ins and fireplace redesign.

This previously unused attic space is now a sauna/yoga room. The left sauna wall follows the attic rafters down diagonally to allow a wider space for leg room on the twin sauna benches.

We used galvanized pipe handrails and stainless steel cables for the railings. The same pipes are used as struts to hold up the 6-foot roof overhangs that shade the glass. PHOTO: Ignacio Salas-Humara
