A collection of masks from all over the world is featured in this hallway to the master wing of the home. Recessed areas in the wall subtly provide frames for the variety of sizes and styles of the masks. Flat weave rugs with a tribal feeling contribute to the global feeling of the collection.

The truly unique feature of the master suite is an eagle’s nest, which serves as a map room for planning the owner’s boating trips. The elevated nautical-themed room is accessed via a custom-built ships ladder and provides beautiful views of the Washington Monument. © Bob Narod Photography and BOWA

Patio - contemporary courtyard stone patio idea in Orange County with no cover

The “City-side” façade presents itself as two restrained stone-clad volumes – a “mask” clad in material very much identified with the architecture of Coral Gables. The lower volume is rough-hewn Florida Keystone and the larger, main volume is clad in honed Simena limestone. The mask is penetrated by only two openings on the western façade and a “frieze” of windows above. Photography by Robin Hill

The client’s request was quite common - a typical 2800 sf builder home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living space, and den. However, their desire was for this to be “anything but common.” The result is an innovative update on the production home for the modern era, and serves as a direct counterpoint to the neighborhood and its more conventional suburban housing stock, which focus views to the backyard and seeks to nullify the unique qualities and challenges of topography and the natural environment. The Terraced House cautiously steps down the site’s steep topography, resulting in a more nuanced approach to site development than cutting and filling that is so common in the builder homes of the area. The compact house opens up in very focused views that capture the natural wooded setting, while masking the sounds and views of the directly adjacent roadway. The main living spaces face this major roadway, effectively flipping the typical orientation of a suburban home, and the main entrance pulls visitors up to the second floor and halfway through the site, providing a sense of procession and privacy absent in the typical suburban home. Clad in a custom rain screen that reflects the wood of the surrounding landscape - while providing a glimpse into the interior tones that are used. The stepping “wood boxes” rest on a series of concrete walls that organize the site, retain the earth, and - in conjunction with the wood veneer panels - provide a subtle organic texture to the composition. The interior spaces wrap around an interior knuckle that houses public zones and vertical circulation - allowing more private spaces to exist at the edges of the building. The windows get larger and more frequent as they ascend the building, culminating in the upstairs bedrooms that occupy the site like a tree house - giving views in all directions. The Terraced House imports urban qualities to the suburban neighborhood and seeks to elevate the typical approach to production home construction, while being more in tune with modern family living patterns.

The challenge was to create a new interior that completely masked the odd protrusion of an upstairs bedroom. Nick King Photography

Beautiful contemporary area rugs are sized according to the room layout, and the Zanadadoo chandelier twinkles like the city lights.
