Mitchell Wall Architecture and DesignIt is a great opportunity to create a home in Saint Louis, using design criteria, sensitivities and materials associated with the Northwest. Our clients, a world traveled couple whose second home is in Montana, commissioned us to do just that. Over six tons of stone were brought in from Montana to complement the hand built wooden trusses and rough-hewn lumber sourced locally.
Having lived in Europe for many years, the couple is sophisticated with specific objectives. The beautiful millwork in the interior and exterior spaces reflects their taste. The gathering room has a vaulted ceiling but is not cavernous due to the dark elements created by the lumber and color selections. The wagon wheel light fixture is a focal point in the room, along with the Montanan stone floor to ceiling fireplace which mirrors the one outdoors. The millwork frames the room and provides the home with its lovely natural, rustic ambiance which plays well with lighting and outdoor living spaces.
The front façade is closed to the street, but the back explodes, with a wall of doors that open to the outdoor living and landscaping. Outdoor living space includes fabulous millwork, a beautiful stone fireplace which complements the interior fireplace, seating areas, a dining table and a full kitchen. The outdoor kitchen includes a grill, oven, storage, an icemaker and a refrigerator.
The lower level is inviting with its millwork, it’s full bar and a home theatre. Again the timber frames the bar area and the rustic feel is defined by the millwork and the Montana stone.
The ceiling is tongue in groove with decorative trusses that include peg details and corbels. Decorative outdoor lanterns add to the ambiance.
Log storage integrated into the main feature, the fireplace. Attention to detail include unusual millwork and lanterns.
Jeffrey ErbA dark backyard was given a new life with dramatic additions of built in planting beds, custom cut salvaged pavers, green screen trellis and a ton of charm. The reclaimed barn doors add a focal point to the east wall while the custom built two-tier planting system allows vines to fill this garden which spans two floors of the client's home.
Cube 1994 LtdAs featured on ITV's "Love your garden" with Alan Titchmarsh.
This garden was designed around the existing swimming pool, dividing the garden into different social areas. A third dimension was added into the garden by incorporating a sunken courtyard. This has a dining area and a relaxing lounge area. It's a real sun trap down there in mid-summer all the surrounding plants hide it from the remaining garden and it becomes a peaceful sanctuary. A rainwater harvesting tank was incorporated under the courtyard which is then fed into a fully automated irrigation system ensuring that this family maximise a natural water source...very environmental friendly.
As you exit the sunken courtyard you are led to a hardwood Iroko deck area, which follows the kidney shape pool. Fibre optic lighting is set into the deck with each of the families star signs. The lawn expands around the whole garden unifying the space with spectacular borders giving an all year round display.
Special bespoke features include a curved Iroko clad steel framed wall with a cantilevered seat. This has been designed to capture the sun and reflect into the hotbed planting. This allows rare plants to be grown in this bed due to the increased temperature provided by the wall. It's a perfect spot for a late Autumn glass of wine or an early Spring morning coffee. Bespoke A-frames have been designed to soften the 4m high hedges. Other bespoke features include Gabion cages that have been filled with rainbow cobbles for a unique abstract sculpture, placed on opposite sides of the garden to create balance. Additional bespoke steel features designed to look like free flowing flower stems flank the left and right hand side of the garden. The three by the pool are free standing and add another focal point. On the opposite side of the garden taller steel gabions have been designed in the same style with climbing plants such as Roses and Clematis for added height.
The Breeze hut with a Cedar shingle roof dominates the space at the end of the pool giving a subtropical feel. Ideal for entertaining on cool Summer nights.
