Three car detached Garage offers a grand apartment perfect for office, studio or guest house.The design of the home was inspired by the principals in the book, “The Pattern Language” which outlines patterns for living and use of space that is in harmony with nature both inside and out. The roofs and floors cascade accordingly providing a sense of shelter and also forming spaces where people come into contact daily. The classic Japanese entrance is distinctly shaped and located at a point. A light-filled space straddling the boundary between the outside and inside makes the home more tranquil. The front is embellished with covered walkways, which provide protection when walking from place to place and play a vital role in the way people interact with the home.The interior rooms were designed to be oriented toward the outside with bay windows, low sills, and window seats, and are sequenced from very public (entrance) to slightly private (family room) and finally the most private (bedrooms). Common areas were created for every social setting with ceiling heights varying to induce people to feel comfortable in those rooms – especially rooms that connect – and forming soft boundaries as opposed to walls.The bedrooms are at an eastern orientation so that everyone wakes up with sun and light. The master bedroom is a private anchor point; distinctly separate room from all other rooms. The grand kitchen is centrally located within the house and includes the family room. To maintain a connection with the home, the large deck is recessed into the house and the gardens are designed to embrace how plants would grow naturally – without barriers. Edges are made of natural materials such as stone, brick and wood. The house is sited near water as it plays an important role in overall health andwell being. All of these principles have come together to create a scenic and peaceful home that is unmatched in its uniqueness.
