A growing family approached us seeking a custom home design with more living space and a strong connection to the outdoors. We designed a spacious kitchen and family room that create a comfortable atmosphere for gatherings in the core of the home. The front entrance boasts a poised appearance with nestled gables and a porch wrapping around to the back, while the backyard features an expansive living area complete with a pool, cabana, and a covered terrace that provides a seamless connection with the outdoors. Our strategic use of glass was instrumental in fostering this connection – the ability to walk out of the living room into the backyard with ease was a key design element that gave this home so much of its character.
