Designed by the internationally acclaimed Morris-Sato Studio and beautifully sited on a tree-lined acre with slices of Gardiners Bay, a dramatic 6-bedroom one-of-a-kind modern home and guesthouse balance stature with understated elegance. Inspired by the historic homes of Kyoto, Japan, this unique architecturally designed residence combines artful living with uncommon functionality. The clean lines and meticulous detailing and construction throughout infuse the light filled spacious home with remarkable serenity and grace. The open quality of the first level allows for an uninterrupted flow of activity and views from inside out. The expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and doors accentuate the relationship of the indoor spaces to the outdoors while the warmth and color of the radiant heated Kota stone floor underscores the connection to nature with year round comfort. The cathedral ceiling above the dining area dramatically joins the first and second floor with light and air. Windows and terraces celebrating both light and views articulate the personal spaces of the second level bedrooms. Two custom wood burning fireplaces and masonry chimney tower vertically anchor the house and the ancillary structures on the exterior. The single-storied guesthouse and garage buildings are arranged to form a beautifully sequestered sun filled courtyard for the swimming pool and gardens, linking to the natural scenery and water beyond.
