Modern Family

Nestled within the canopy of mature oak trees, this single-story house follows a simple “T”-shaped plan, with each leg organizing distinct zones for the family of four. The long leg contains the formal spaces—the entry, living room, and guest suite—while the other legs house the garage and children’s bedrooms at one end, and the family room and primary suite at the other. A centralized kitchen and dining area connect the three wings, serving as the heart of the home.

Expansive glass openings frame views of the property and fill interiors with natural daylight. The form is carved with exterior porches and terraces, connecting the family to the site. A screened porch tucked near the entry focuses on the swimming pool, while a dining terrace opens from the light-filled clerestory kitchen.

White Oak flooring and cabinetry unify the home’s simple palette, punctuated by dark tiles in varying shades of black, creating a serene retreat for this active family.
