Manhattan Residence

The owners of this property plan fun holiday surprises in the large dining room window at the front of their new home. This window with a view into a heritage oak, along with elevated planters, a terraced and shaded courtyard, and floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the house keep this elevated home connected to the site and gardens.

Brick walls and beams overhead span from inside to outside, further emphasizing this sense of connection and expanding the living spaces across the entire site.

Entry into private spaces for each member of the family are tucked discretely around corners, giving a sense of retreat and respite in contrast to the open living and entertaining spaces.
