Modern Comforts
Mountain Brook Residence
Nested Volumes
Organically Graceful
Set on a half-acre sloping corner lot, the house is composed of gently cascading volumes that follow the terrain. These shifts create an organic sequence of rooms, offering both openness and intimate residential scale. The architecture blends seamlessly with the landscape, establishing a grounded yet contemporary presence.
Inner Oasis
A Private Retreat
As one enters, glimpses of the backyard pool and the light-filled great room emerge to create a layered procession into the home, gradually revealing its openness, warmth, and connection to the outdoors.
Great Room
Lofty Interiors Linked to Patios
At the center of the home, a tall great room forms the primary gathering space. Large openings connect the interior to outdoor patios and the pool deck, while a two-sided fireplace links the great room with the screen porch. This central volume organizes the house’s circulation and enhances its sense of openness.
Natural Ease
Framing Light and Views
The great room anchors two bedroom wings and is bathed in soft natural light. A concrete fireplace introduces texture and an earthy counterpoint, while the warm wood ceiling adds depth and cohesion. Throughout, the palette remains understated, allowing light and views to define the experience of the space.
Transparency
Open to the Landscape
Expansive corner glazing in the dining area frames views outward. The kitchen and dining room open directly to a generous patio designed for easy outdoor entertaining. A discreetly tucked-away pantry, mudroom, and laundry maintain the open-plan spaces while supporting everyday function.
Layers
Indoor-Outdoor Living Areas
The primary suite sits above the home office and includes a sitting room and private deck, creating a sanctuary apart from the main living areas. At the rear, an infinity-edge pool anchors a collection of outdoor settings—screen porch, fireplace patio, upper deck—providing multiple spaces for relaxation and socializing throughout the day.
