Modern / Contemporary house with curved glass walls and second floor balcony.

The Kipling house is a new addition to the Montrose neighborhood. Designed for a family of five, it allows for generous open family zones oriented to large glass walls facing the street and courtyard pool. The courtyard also creates a buffer between the master suite and the children's play and bedroom zones. The master suite echoes the first floor connection to the exterior, with large glass walls facing balconies to the courtyard and street. Fixed wood screens provide privacy on the first floor while a large sliding second floor panel allows the street balcony to exchange privacy control with the study. Material changes on the exterior articulate the zones of the house and negotiate structural loads.

It is our passion to design and build truly glamorous extensions of any living space and harmoniously merge the indoor and outdoor environments. Rooftopia enjoys offering all of our clients a turnkey solution for luxury outdoor living and appreciates the rewards of planning and overseeing each outdoor room transformation from start to finish. This cozy outdoor lounge and kitchen is accessible and visible year round from the primary living areas of the residence, so it was very important for our team to develop and create a cohesive design that looks amazing even when the space is not in use, as it is an immediate extension of the home. The evening mood is relaxed and magical. The deck is primarily used for outdoor grilling, entertaining, and includes a cozy seating and dining area. The high end outdoor kitchen features a gas grill, an integrated vent hood, marine grade aluminum cabinets, custom concrete countertops and an outdoor TV. The pergola and privacy screens are a mix of cedar and steel and the flooring tiles are porcelain. Creating shade and privacy around much of the space, automatically limits access to natural light, a key part of the design was a well crafted lighting plan. While offering functionality and safety the lighting in this outdoor lounge also provides cohesion and a warm elegant ambience. Lighting fixtures include several up-down wall lights and a series of integrated LEDs in the pergola that reflect light from the decorative ceiling materials and structural I-beams.
