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.
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.
