The architect description is as follow: ”by emphasizing heavy stone and concrete masses, the design effects an expression of permanence suggestive of the traditional European country chateau. As a counterpoint to the dense materiality and massing of forms, the residence breaks down into three discrete volumes for garage, main living quarters (including a yoga studio), and master suite. Large expanses of glass lead to outdoor terraces, both elements serving to reflect the idiom of outdoor living in the American West. The residence reinforces its connection to the natural environment through an integration of architecture and landscaping: a waterway extends from a pond and creates a contemplative focal point for the home’s entry.” So how do you like this stoney residence dear Best readers?
