This is just stunning and tremendously well executed. The open feel to the fantastic setting is just amazing as well. I would buy a place like this in no time flat!

That is so cool! It’s like having a house on a pond or something.

I bet it’s cool there during summer.

It’s just amazing how the house blends in with the exterior and how the interior complements the exterior. Like in the living room… the garden is a beautiful painting for the living area.

Not pretentious at all. Very nice!

nice “human” scale design. For me, it seems that the back and pool are seperate from the envirnment instead of integrated, other than that it is very well done.

As I dream of designing and building my final home to spend my life in. I just learned someone has already taken my thoughts and built the home. I love it! Everything about it is simple and clean in design. Living indoors but feeling outdoors is what I love. Even though I despise camping, this is definitely not that.

Very nice. I really like the large sliding glass doors, the way the water touches the house, and the landscaping. Wish we could have seen the kitchen, the bedrooms, and the floorplan. That TV in the living room looks to be mounted too high for comfortable viewing while seated.

This is a beautiful house. It’s a real HOME.

I’m living in a house with floor to ceiling windows throughout (almost – not to the northern side) and wonder how some of the windows of THIS house are being cleaned. Several are directly above the water. I wonder what my professional window cleaners would do. Take a canoe? LOL

The combination of home and garden is simply stunning.

There was a little house in Key West that I’ve always loved that had a black L shaped pool framing the back of it.

This house takes that one feeling and expands upon it many times over. I would have to say this is my favorite home that I have seen on Contemporist so far. It’s size, scale, landscaping, etc. are all my taste/style. Plus it’s divided into zones, which I’ve always liked as well.

Stunning, simply stunning.
