This truly unique, modern masterpiece graces the landscape with its dramatic design and reflective soul, and is a striking example of the essence of subtle sophistication. The entire structure is clad in corrugated Cor-Ten steel and is punctuated by vast expanses of glass to take advantage of the 360 degree views.
Pamela Burton designed the oriental inspired dry gravel river bed that is flanked by four indigenous grasses. Concrete walkways and terraces lead around to the covered outdoor dining area that features a wood burning pizza oven, fireplace and BBQ. Overhead heating units allow for year- round alfresco dining. A few steps down from this area is the dramatic dark bottomed 70 foot lap pool and spa that juts out into the natural landscape.
The massive front door opens to the expansive living room, dining room and kitchen. Grand in proportions, with high ceilings and large south facing sliding glass doors, this spectacular room is the center for gracious entertaining and relaxed dining.
The counter tops in the kitchen and wine bar are made of grey Zodiac stone that complement the rift-sawn white oak plank floor. From the 60” Wolf range to separate Sub-Zero refrigerator, freezer, and Miele dishwasher, this kitchen is a true chef’s paradise. A large walk-in pantry is just steps away.
From the ‘Living Pavilion’, a hallway with views onto the courtyard leads down several steps to the Master bedroom. The room is on axis with the lap pool and therefore enjoys equally magnificent views. The Master suite is comprised of a glass walled luxurious master bath complete with an oversized ceramic tile double shower, traditional Japanese teak soaking tub and a striking hanging double mirror.
A library-study with fireplace that features corner walls in glass, leads to two beautifully proportioned bedrooms, each with private bath.The ‘Working Pavilion’ consists of a North facing double storied artist’s studio of remarkable proportions. A separate painting or sculpture storage area is also featured. The large in-home office with built-in walnut bookshelves has sliding doors that open onto the serene Zen courtyard.
A gym studio also enjoys views out to the garden. Adjacent to the Artist’s studio is a wide sliding gate that is opened when entertaining to greet guests and offers immediate access to the courtyard. The inspiration for the home’s design came from a desire to create three distinct areas: living, sleeping and working, all under one roof structure. Thus, each pavilion would enjoy its privacy, yet be connected to the whole through a strong and cohesive design thesis.
