THE MODERN RESIDENCE
"Our goal is to create
residences that are
simultaneously intentional
and effortless; homes
that converse with their
surroundings and speak
to their homeowners in a
powerfully personal way."

Brad Angelini
BELOW TOP: The west open courtyard is nestled into the wings of the house, extending the main living and dining spaces to the outdoors and capitalizing on the
views. The private deck from the master suite den above the dining room provides secluded outdoor space with a bird's eye view into the Arboretum. Large windows
wrapping the corners extend the space diagonally through the rooms. The ledgestone fireplace chimney provides vertical emphasis and contrast with the smooth
stucco finish and horizontal window lines.
BELOW BOTTOM: The house's H-shaped plan is anchored by a stair tower and elevator, so that the massing of the house steps up the hill and then strategically opens
towards the Arboretum. Sunlight is celebrated during the day, but at night, the mood is just as warm with ambient lighting throughout the home and landscape.
