PORTFOLIO

Martis Camp-489

Located at the end of a cul-de-sac is the home’s circular driveway. From the street this home is quiet and humble. The home’s fairly traditional vernacular combines with unique and noteworthy contemporary elements creating a transitional style

Dramatic stone columns are used throughout the home, both as exterior and interior elements. A striking colonnade entryway leads to an arched front door with sidelights creating a dramatic first impression. Stone columns in the living room provide visual interest as well as functionally concealing the lift and slide door pockets.

Rounded lift and slide doors completely pocket into stone elements on either side of the room and open to a covered patio that overlooks a riparian meadow. The tight tolerance of the large, curved lift and slide door with curved windows above proved to be especially challenging. Close coordination between the architecture and in-house engineering at MWA made it possible to meet the unique challenges.

Universal design principles were incorporated through-out the first floor of the home. ADA compliant thresholds were used and space was arranged to accommodate a wheelchair. The first floor guest suite was designed for a family member with limited mobility.

The open flow and function of this home are exceptional. Exquisite materials and detailing create a luxurious and satisfying environment.

I have had the opportunity to work with Kristi Thompson and her team at MWA on both new construction and remodel projects and have greatly enjoyed the collaboration, I am always excited when new projects designed by MWA come across my desk because I know the end result will always be beautiful and thoughtfully designed. They do a great job of listening to the homeowner's wishes and work to develop a design and that fits their individual wants and needs for their new home. Each project that we've worked on together has had a clear vision and an insightful design. As a result, it is very easy for me, as an interior designer, to continue working with the client to make sure that the interiors are cohesive with the architecture, I also appreciate how easy it is to work with Kristi and her team during the constriction process if questions arise. I have learned a lot from them and hope to continue working together in the future.
