light," describes Hathorn. "ere are numerous skylights and floor-to-ceiling
glass in some of the rooms." e meticulous placement of many windows
results in lush green views throughout the home, and an influx of fresh air
and sunshine from patios and decks. "A lot of time was spent considering how
the light would come in during the morning versus the afternoon," he adds.
Also, notes Hathorn, the home "…has the ideal floorplan." e front is where
one finds a fireplaced living room and elegant dining room. To separate
these spaces without cloistering them, designers used a raised ceiling and
framed corners, allowing an easy flow that helps one feel untethered after a
day scurrying about a space-challenged city. Stroll to the rear of the home
and one finds the everyday spaces—kitchen, dining area and family room.
Here, they are housed in a sunny, open floorplan
that merges with the outdoors by way of a sliding
glass wall. Bringing an earthy touch to this chic,
oversized space are French oak floors, tan and grainy.
ey provide a pleasing and unexpected contrast
to the kitchen's gleaming slabs of pale Silestone (a
stain- and scratch-resistant material made mostly of
quartz), and a sleek suite of appliances—all from the
Modernist line by ultra-premium maker Dacor. e
refrigerator, for instance, has cameras to monitor
food supplies, and disappears into the wall, cloaked
by wood paneling. e shiny 48" range and its hood
is a centerpiece of sorts, with the capability to cook
by gas or electric, and a tilting touch panel one can
control via WiFi. (Such au courant features extend
to the rest of the home, which is solar powered,
has smart-home automation and pre-wiring for an
electric car charger.)
