ELEVATING tradition
Positioned on a picturesque lot overlooking a tranquil creek, this expansive Alpine residence has been meticulously transformed to redefine luxury living. Through a thoughtful design process, every aspect of this home has been reimagined, to blend timeless elegance with modern functionality. Explore the steps we undertook to elevate this sophisticated Alpine home.
& DEFINING modern luxury
design approach
We began by carefully studying the existing structure to understand its potential. The original home, built with red brick and traditional siding, had evolved through multiple additions by the previous owner. While this resulted in a generous layout and unique features, including an indoor pool and a layout centered around rear-facing views, the home required a cohesive modernization to align with contemporary design sensibilities.
the entry
To honor the scale and presence of the estate, we designed an extruded entry that stately defines the front door and creates a soaring double-height foyer. Aligned with the existing plan geometries, this new entry establishes a strong axial connection and offers clear sightlines to the backyard, seamlessly linking the interior and exterior spaces with dramatic effect.
exterior updates
The traditional siding has been replaced with an Exterior Insulation Finishing System (EIFS), featuring a timeless black-and-white color scheme. The brick has been painted with a breathable, eco-friendly, mineral-based specialty masonry product. This update gives the home’s exterior a fresh, crisp, and contemporary aesthetic.
interiors
In reimagining the interior, we sought to honor the open-concept preferences of today. By selectively removing walls and introducing structural steel beams, we’ve created expansive, light-filled spaces that connect effortlessly.
