Private Residence
Great Neck / USA, 2009
Description
The site location of this residence made it an interesting challenge. Incorporating the cabana, pool & house was no easy task. An oversized outdoor terrace area was created to make the house and its extensions more unified.
There was a height restriction due to the contours of the landscape. We built a retaining wall and lifted the actual land to get the house up higher. It was shrewd architecture that got this project done to the clients expectations.
Working off the central entry, the living areas branch out in to separate wings; One being the Master Suite, another being the children’s wing and lastly, the “public living” area, i.e. living room, kitchen, library. The “C” shaped floor plan revolves around the vast outdoor spaces. The outdoor/pool area became the focal point of the split level home. There is access to the exterior from almost all the interior points.
