Featuring a classic H-shaped plan and minimalist details, the Winston was designed with the modern family in mind. This home carefully balances a sleek and uniform façade with more contemporary elements. Stepping through a pair of natural wood entry doors gives way to sweeping vistas through the living and dining rooms. Anchoring the left side of the main level is a large white kitchen island and tiled glass backsplash. To the right, and behind the living rooms sleek fireplace, is a vertical corridor that grants access to the upper level bedrooms, main level master suite, and lower level spaces. Serving as backdrop to this vertical corridor is a floor to ceiling glass display room for a sizeable wine collection. Set three steps down from the living room and through an articulating glass wall, the screened porch is enclosed by a retractable screen system that allows the room to be heated during cold nights. In all rooms, preferential treatment is given to maximize exposure to the rear yard, making this a perfect lakefront home.

In this family room we used a Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Roller Shade for the windows. We were looking to diffuse down the light while still keeping great visibility out. The screen shades give a great view through while cutting the heat and giving uv blockage. These shades are sleek and can roll all the way up and go into the fabric covered headrails. These shades are great for areas where we need to diffuse light and heat but still keep our view out.

PCA custom handcrafted aluminum screen doors can enhance any home style. Its classic, sleek open top design allows for unobstructed views of your rear landscape and outdoors while letting natural light in. The heavy duty aluminum frame has added reinforcement on the bottom half of the door. These doors are built to hold up to everyday use, kids and pets. Furthermore, this heavy duty powder-coated aluminum frame will not rot, rust, twist or splinter and aluminum corner keys keep the corners tight to prevent door sag.

A large entertainment area was created in keeping with the classic feel of the home while introducing modern materials. We created a large patio area built with sleek modern multi-tone pavers and natural stone steps to allow entry from multiple rooms of the house. A built in BBQ area was created with a privacy screen to allow for entertaining and large ornamental cedars were planted to surround the property line. Small boxwood hedges and historic plants were used to create a timeless back drop and year-round interest.

We drew inspiration from traditional prairie motifs and updated them for this modern home in the mountains. Throughout the residence, there is a strong theme of horizontal lines integrated with a natural, woodsy palette and a gallery-like aesthetic on the inside.
