Inside, a sculptural stair cuts through the two-story section, separating the upstairs lounge and office from a pair of guest suites. Throughout the home, warm materials, layered textures, and thoughtful transitions reflect the couple’s lifestyle—equal parts grounded and elevated.
Inspired by the clients’ love of the mountains and natural materials, this North Shore home balances rustic warmth with refined detail. Designed for a couple entering a new chapter, the layout centers on privacy, comfort, and a strong connection to the outdoors—tailored for both everyday living and entertaining.
The “H”-shaped plan creates a natural flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, with a central terrace surrounded by the main bedroom, living areas, and a four-seasons room. A ridge skylight brings daylight deep into the home, while a spa and fire pit anchor the garden, offering year-round moments of retreat.
