Description

THE DESIGN

The architectural design of this contemporary residence seamlessly blends with the surrounding nature, creating a tranquil oasis. The two existing majestic trees, the Liquid Amber at the front and the Algerian Oak at the rear serve as natural focal points, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. Positioned to the west and north, these deciduous trees play a vital role in optimizing the passive solar features of the home. They provide shade during the hotter months, keeping the interior cool, while allowing warm sunlight to flood the home during the cooler seasons.This contemporary residence is a testament to harmonious architecture and interior design. The integration of natural elements, including the existing trees, and the careful consideration given to preserving the connection to the community, contribute to a truly remarkable living experience. From the breathtaking views of the tree canopy to the luxurious outdoor spaces and inviting interiors, every detail of this residence has been meticulously crafted to create a serene and welcoming haven for its inhabitants.
