Resource Room into Dining & Kitchen

This formally Edwardian home was seismically upgraded and completely remodeled into a modern residence consisting of concrete, steel and glass. The three story structure is served by an elevator and rests on an exposed concrete garage accessed by a grated aluminum gate. An eight by six foot anodized aluminum pivoting front door opens up to a geometric stair case with etched Starfire guardrails. The stainless steel Bulthaup kitchen and module systems include a 66 foot counter that spans the depth of the home. Photos: Marion Brenner Architect: Stanley Saitowitz

In the master bedroom swathes of shimmering silk drapes combine with French style painted furniture to evoke an air of timeless elegance.

A clean mountain modern home with touches of heavy timber, steel and local quarried stone to blend with its surroundings. The home is set amongst the forest and was designed as a family retreat in the mountains.
