This custom home beautifully showcases the desire for a harmonious blend of rustic charm and traditional elegance. The design features a two-story structure with large, expansive windows that allow for plenty of natural light and offer stunning views of the surrounding waterfront area. The exterior combines natural stone and timberframe elements, which give the home a warm and inviting feel that complements its natural setting. This project was a combination design & build & project management for WaynTruaxDesigns.
The covered patio areas and extensive outdoor living spaces ensure that the home is perfect for entertaining and enjoying the outdoors in any weather. These areas are designed to be functional extensions of the indoor living spaces.
The custom home (a collaboration with Bruce Wilson) features a distinctive porte cochere, a covered structure that extends from the main entrance of the house. This architectural element not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also provides practical benefits. The design of the porte cochere incorporates timberframe, echoing the rustic charm and natural materials used throughout the home. This cohesive design element enhances the overall aesthetic, creating a grand and welcoming entrance.
The shower walls and floor are adorned with large natural stone tiles. These tiles add a touch of luxury and create a spa-like ambiance. The natural variations in the stone's texture and color provide visual interest and a sense of depth to the space. The bathroom uses a thoughtful combination of materials to create a luxurious and cohesive design.
The striking wooden double doors serve as the focal point of the entryway. Their warm, natural wood finish adds a touch of rustic elegance and sets a welcoming tone for the home. The glass panels in the doors allow natural light to filter into the space, enhancing its brightness and openness. Overall, the entryway design combines classic and elegant elements, creating a warm and inviting space that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The use of high-quality materials and thoughtful architectural details reflects the client's commitment to creating a timeless and welcoming environment.
