The great room includes a U-shaped kitchen island designed for the tradition of family meal preparation. “The joy that the family experiences while preparing a meal together at the U-shaped kitchen island, facing out to the rolling hills beyond, is particularly heartwarming,” says architect Meelena Oleksiuk Turkel.
Designed specifically for steeper sites which may be difficult for conventional floor plans, this home steps up with a hillside, providing stability to steeper slopes by working with, rather than against, the landscape. Its low profile and possible green roofs ensure it blends elegantly into almost any natural environment.
By entering the home from the end rather than the center, the organization allows for easy access along a hillside, keeping driveways and entry paths out of the views that are maximized by the linear format. The stepped mass of the building creates ample roof terraces and a private outdoor courtyard separating the master suite and a beautiful studio/office.
The house features 4 bedrooms, a studio/office, and a family room, along with 4 baths and roof decks, making single level living possible.
