Inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, this Midcentury modern home is organized around a compositional massing strategy. Brick volumes anchor the multiple elements of the home and bookend public program. Structural fins create a rhythm across the facade to help organize secondary elements. Floating roof planes are hung from the structural fins to give definition to the more transparent programmatic elements.
A custom brick screen design becomes a signature feature of the home that reveals itself across the property. The home meanders across the property, creating and revealing a multitude of unique outdoor living spaces. From the main house you meander past the main family pool, designed as a naturalistic folie. With natural rock boulders and waterfalls, the pool acts as a counterpoint to the more angular geometries of the home.
At the rear of the property is the wellness and entertainment program of the home, centered around the tennis pavilion. A lap pool doubles as a beautiful water-feature backdrop for the tennis court. The classic design of the home nestled between several 100-year oaks make it feel as if this property has existed for decades. The materials and details of this home add to its timeless quality.

From the Judges | The renderings on this project are fantastic. It features lots of clean details, including the awesome brick detailing. The structural fins create a Jetsons-era vibe. There’s a lot of nice light and shadowing throughout, but noticeably in the stairs.
