Orchid II

This project is on a long and narrow lot with only 24’ of frontage for which to create curb appeal. This challenge led to choosing a soft contemporary style and a material palette that was rich, warm, and enduring. White washed brick with deep recesses to protect and cover the large sliders, along with accents of c-channel steel to strengthen the balcony overhang help create a sense of permanence. The brick also returns on the inside face of the interior walls as well as in the staircase to add rich detail and tie the exterior feel into the interiors.

We also chose to do a large wood feature wall that continues deep into the interior to help accentuate the warm indoor/outdoor feeling and theme of the home. This theme is also present in its open floor plan and central courtyard opening to the kitchen and great room.
