Windward
Newport Beach, CALocated near the Back Bay in Newport Beach, California, this sprawling two-story home accentuates the width of the lot and provides a stately curb-side appeal to the street. Inspired by a 'Pennsylvania Dutch' architectural style, this home blends modern and traditional design elements to create a timeless effect. Steep gable ends and flat shed roofs interplay to create a rhythm throughout the front of the home, which harmonizes the overall exterior. Rich materials such as white-washed brick, board and batten vertical siding, wood clapboard siding, and metal standing seam roofs pair well with the decorative wood trim detailing and steel-grey frames around the windows.
A recessed entryway, framed by the garage and front room, draws the visitor into the home
Inside, double-height spaces in the foyer and center of the house flood the home with natural light, accentuating the warm aesthetic of light wood flooring, white walls, and bold metal detailing.
Niche window seating off of the kitchen provides the perfect spot to enjoy a morning meal
At the rear of the home, large sliding glass doors open onto a spacious outdoor dining and lounge area, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living and allowing natural light into the main room
