Lemme at that ostentatious pier with a jackhammer; it does nothing to relieve, and needs to be brought back into proportion with, the relentless rectangularity of the rest of the house and surrounds, though that could be hard, because it has its own private runway.
There is nothing here to elevate the soul except the Zen trees outside. Despite all the expense, it is just ordinarily consumerist in appurtenances and character. Perish the harsh black joinery and light fittings, the imprisoning bars in the front door and in the balustrades. You just can’t escape from the masonry, all the way to the perimeter of the block. All those rectangles have taken over, rectangles within rectangles, far too far.

Simply another awesome design based on client needs and site topo maps to blend with it’s surroundings. This is typical of the design consistently produced by LaRue and his staff.
What an awesome job! Hats off to you.

Very nice. Something tells me the architect of this home was inspired by Frank Lloyed Wrght’s Falling Water house, one of my favorites. – Marie

I think this is one of the best designed houses ever, I love the spiral staircase on the outside.

Really like this design.The hued accent lighting on the pools, give the exterior design a pretty nice vibe. The combination of stone and wood is also cool, the interior is very luxury and cozy at the same time.
Neat

Ooh and I just looked at the architectures site. All the houses on there are gorgeous! If you like this house, you should have a look at the others. You’ll fall in love with them!

This may be the best house featured on this site, although I would’ve replaced the tennis court with something else.. more lawn perhaps? that last picture is absolutely stunning!

Probably because that’s how they wanted it to be.

Very nice house.

With so much space in the kitchen I fail to understand why the cooking unit is placed against the wall.

I love it.

Contemporary, with a touch of traditional.
