"Lift House", a to-be-built residence, embodies the essence of modernism, seamlessly blending natural elements with contemporary design principles. Situated on a sprawling 14-acre plot, the home appears to emerge organically from the earth, its elevated floor plan enhancing its connection to the surrounding landscape. Approaching the residence, one is immediately struck by the interplay of materials. The living spaces are clad in a warm-toned Accoya wood siding. This wood spiral is supported by two brick volumes wrapped in a complementary muted-burgundy tone and a grid of bronze columns. The warm hues of the wood, terracotta, and metal accents both blend and stand-apart from the site's natural color palette. A reflecting koi pond in the courtyard and the large in ground pool reflect the colors of the site and the architecture. The entry sequence is a carefully choreographed experience, beginning with a pathway that winds through an interior garden courtyard and culminates at a dramatic entryway. A hardwood pivot door with sidelight glazing serves as a focal point, inviting guests to step inside. Once within, the interior unfolds with an effortless flow, characterized by clean lines, open spaces, and a restrained palette of materials. The heart of the home is a spacious great room, where high ceilings and full-height glazing create an airy, light-filled ambiance. A stone-clad fireplace wall anchors the space creating some separation between the living space and the kitchen and dining room. The gourmet kitchen is a study in contemporary elegance, featuring walnut and lacquered wood cabinetry, high-end appliances, and an expansive marble island. Adjacent to the kitchen, a dining area overlooks the grounds and swimming pool, offering an idyllic setting for intimate gatherings or lavish entertaining. The main residence boasts four generously proportioned bedrooms and four and 1/2 bathrooms. The master suite is a sanctuary of luxury, with a spa-like bath, custom walk-in closet, and a private outdoor terrace with southern exposure. Outside, the allure of the natural surroundings is further enhanced by an in-ground pool, where shimmering waters reflect the ever-changing sky. There are several covered and open patio areas designated for exterior cooking and eating, lounging, and pool activities. An attached pool house provides a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living with glass walls that reveal a lounge area, wet bar, and additional full bathroom. Throughout the home, sustainable design principles are seamlessly integrated, with extensive insulation, triple-pane windows, passive solar strategies, and energy-efficient mechanical systems, appliances and materials. The result is a harmonious fusion of form and function, where luxury, nature, and the human experience can coexist in perfect balance. © 2024 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
