The design reflects International Modern principles rooted in early 20th century modernism, echoing the language of Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and their contemporaries. Inside, open concept living spaces feature clean lines, generous scale, and walls of glass that dissolve the line between interior and exterior. Natural light and changing views become part of daily living, and the indoor outdoor flow suits entertaining and everyday life. The chef's kitchen, multiple living areas, voluminous storage, and well appointed bedroom suites are designed for comfort without compromising architectural integrity. Outdoors, the living continues with a heated saltwater pool and entertaining spaces, complemented by low maintenance Trex style decking.
