This expansive spec home in Pinecrest is designed for an established family that embraces outdoor living throughout the year. The project presented a unique opportunity and challenge: a densely wooded front yard, reminiscent of a private forest, necessitated a significant setback from the street, impacting the potential size of the backyard. The design solution masterfully balances these competing needs.
The home is thoughtfully integrated into its natural surroundings. The "forest" entrance creates a sense of seclusion and tranquility, while the common areas of the house seamlessly open to the backyard, fostering a continuous connection with nature. This central connection acts as the heart of the home, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living. The layout strategically distributes the remaining spaces on either side of the common areas. This thoughtful arrangement creates a private master suite wing, separate from the children's area, yet maintains visual and physical access to the surrounding greenery.
Key features of this Pinecrest residence include:
- Dramatic Arrival: The forest-like front yard creates a captivating entry experience, setting the stage for the home's unique relationship with nature;
- Open Concept Living: The common areas are designed for seamless flow and interaction, connecting the indoors with the outdoor spaces for effortless entertaining and family time.
- Private Retreats: The master suite and children's wing offer distinct living spaces, ensuring privacy and tranquility for all family members.
- Nature-Inspired Design: The home maximizes natural light and views, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere.
- Preservation of Natural Beauty: The design minimized the removal of trees, streamlining the permitting process and preserving the integrity of the existing landscape.
