This unique transitional home truly encompasses the word. It's a transition from modern and clean to rustic and warm all in one home.

Situated on the golf course, these avid golfers wanted the big view of their favorite pastime. The warm, welcoming, and whimsical courtyard leads you to the front door. upon entering, you immediately see the double-sided fireplace. Peeking through you get a tiny tease of what you will see on the other side. Walking around the fireplace and into the great room, you are flooded with light and an amazing view of the surrounding countryside and the golf course. The open floor plan allows this family to entertain from the great room, kitchen, dining, den and back patio with minimal obstructions. With back yard kitchen, fire pit and a lot of lounging space, it's the perfect place to take in the most amazing sunsets.

The clients really wanted to warm the home to have a cozy feeling. To do that, hand hewn beams and trusses were installed in the great room, dining room, entry, and master bedroom. The use of trusses and the tongue and groove ceiling in the great room allowed for a seamless transition inside to out with the feel of the space. We also used beams as structural headers where we needed them to divide the spaces. It allowed the open concept to feel like it still had individual rooms without breaking up the line of sight. The biggest challenge with this home was the drop in grade and accessing the back yard for fun time on the putting green. The terraced landscape created a winding staircase to the back yard, filled with native plants and softening the hardscape. This is a subtle compliment to the surrounding area and really accents the put and play area.
