Box House

Steps from the kitchen, living rooms, and master bedroom create a satisfying visual symmetry. Glass rails and crisp limestone replaced the heavy brick and ironwork, preserving views and creating a seamless descent to the pool. The use of limestone for the deck, stairs, and walls not only provides visual continuity, but also walks a fine line between old a new: the stone plays off of the existing material palette while also making a clear design statement in its own right. The continuous stone bands are modified and extruded to create steps, benches, counters, and even a TV cabinet before continuing down to a lower terrace with a curved glass rail.
