a stairway from the home's southern gate, enabling
clients to come and go without disturbing the family.
That atrium acts as a light well, guaranteeing both lo-
wer and upper levels are beautifully illuminated. Out-
door areas connected to each space provide the setting
for meetings or the occasional change of scenery nee-
ded to recharge.
One benefit of our new normal is the short commute.
When the workday is done, close the door and join the
family in main rooms around which daily life revolves.
The last year emphasized the need for multiple com-
munal spaces drenched in outdoor light against which
to perform the dance of privacy and togetherness that
allow a family to share space. This home has aced that
function, offering the answer in a trifecta of inviting
spaces.
At the rear of the home, the family room centers
around a gourmet kitchen whose full suite of Miele
appliances is enhanced by custom cabinetry imported
from Spain, double islands and glass-fronted shelving.
Fit for a family, it easily welcomes the services of a pro-
fessional chef for times when future cocktail parties or
a catered sit-down dinner are once again on the agen-
da. This space partners with the lush backyard, which,
centered around a beautifully designed pool that prof-
fers a waterfall feature and an incorporated Jacuzzi, an
outdoor kitchen, and a covered patio spanning the en-
tire width of the lot, is a stunning example of indoor/
outdoor living.
