Lead by the Client’s special connection to the granite outcroppings at the top of the hill with panoramic view of the surrounding protected woodlands, the house is strategically sited between two rock formations with a reflecting pool connecting the two. As both the property and the house unfold to gradually reveal the inner sanctum of the house, a magnificent view of the forest below is seen beyond the reflecting pond as one transitions from Entry to the Living Room.
Special features of the House include an indoor swimming pool under the glass bottom reflecting pool that allows natural light into the lower swimming pool; a secret grotto carved into one of the natural rock formations; a state of the art screening room with connection to the adjoining game room through large acoustic doors to serve as stage area; a generous master suite with a solarium above the master bath for meditation and yoga. The primary design concern was maximizing natural light for the house in the woods where the light filtered through trees is reflected off and refracted through water.
