A masterclass in architectural alchemy—1948 minimalism fused with bold, modern European design. Sleek and utterly intentional. A curated language of blackened steel, wood, concrete, and glass delivers a sensory experience that’s both functional and poetic. The kitchen balances form and function with euro-ply cabinetry, stainless/quartz surfaces, and Bertazzoni & Viking appliances. A translucent polycarbonate-wrapped studio suite below glows with serene light. Every detail tells a story of thoughtful, high-end design. This isn’t just a house. It’s a dialogue between structure and soul, where utility meets art. A modern classic in every sense. Outbuilding provides an additional 120sf of flex living. Architect / artist couple designed & owned.
