Transformation of this hillside residence started in the Fall of 2011 and was completed in the Winter of 2013. A three-phased approach in the construction created many benefits: it allowed the owner to pay in stages, maximized the living convenience of the client, and took advantage of ideal weather for construction.
Before construction the property was dominated by rough slopes which limited functional space. Terracing reshaped the property so that it was optimized and created a dramatic visual. The space can now be utilized for varied purposes like entertaining at the outdoor kitchen, lawn, or bocce ball court. Terracing also maximizes the natural beauty of the property and new additons like the stone masonry, lawn and gardens. This varied landscape makes staying home comfortable and enjoyable.
