Contemporary Family Living
A Prairie-style, contemporary home with front and back window walls that create transparency through the core of the house showcasing the open spiral staircase and affording amazing views of the valley below. Brick exterior walls were extended into the surrounding grades to anchor the structure to the site and a partially exposed lower floor expands the living area integrating with the patios and terraces. Along with a conveniently located sun-oriented vegetable garden other environmental features include; roof overhangs integrated to the exterior design address a low angle sun in winter months, high performance glazed windows with low E, argon filled and twin sealed, high efficiency HVAC, HRV and gas fireplaces. Top it off with a spectacular outdoor pool and what active family wouldn’t want to live here! - See more at: http://mitchellbrock.com/projects/case-studies/contemporary-family-living/#sthash.ejbREnGF.dpuf
