A modern mountain-inspired home for a stylish empty-nester couple who revel in the outdoors and love to entertain.
Nestled in the north shore suburbs, this residence harmoniously blends the charm of rustic mountain aesthetics with the grandeur befitting its sophisticated surroundings. With its clever "H" shaped design, the house offers both privacy and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A defining feature of this residence is the breathtaking ridge skylight that floods the main living spaces with natural light, regardless of the weather outside, further connecting the interiors to the natural elements.
The main bedroom, living areas, and four-seasons rooms gracefully envelop a spacious terrace, seamlessly connecting the interior to artful landscaping. An oasis awaits in the form of a cozy spa and inviting fire pit, completing the captivating garden space.
“A goal was to reference the client’s love of the mountains and natural materials with the details, nuance, and sophistication indicative of it North Shore location”
— Lucas Goldbach
Inside, the architectural marvel continues with a striking staircase that cuts through the heart of the two-story section, infusing the interior with an abundance of light. Upstairs, this feature elegantly divides the office-lounge area from a pair of luxurious guest bedroom suites, ensuring privacy and comfort.
This modern mountain retreat is a testament to the harmonious fusion of nature-inspired design, contemporary elegance, and functional living spaces.
