CHRISTOPHER STROM ARCHITECTS
Eye-Land: Named for the expansive white oak savanna views, this beautiful 5,200-square foot family home offers seamless indoor/outdoor living with five bedrooms and three baths, and space for two more bedrooms and a bathroom.
The site posed unique design challenges. The home was ultimately nestled into the hillside, instead of placed on top of the hill, so that it didn’t dominate the dramatic landscape. The openness of the savanna exposes all sides of the house to the public, which required creative use of form and materials. The home’s one-and-a-half story form pays tribute to the site’s farming history. The simplicity of the gable roof puts a modern edge on a traditional form, and the exterior color palette is limited to black tones to strike a stunning contrast to the golden savanna.
The main public spaces have oversized south-facing windows and easy access to an outdoor terrace with views overlooking a protected wetland. The connection to the land is further strengthened by strategically placed windows that allow for views from the kitchen to the driveway and auto court to see visitors approach and children play. There is a formal living room adjacent to the front entry for entertaining and a separate family room that opens to the kitchen for immediate family to gather before and after mealtime.

Guncast
Guncast designed a classic but stunning addition to this old historical building set in the Surrey Hills. An outdoor swimming pool seemed like a perfect solution for the clients to relax overlooking to the stunning landscape. The dark green mosaic tiled swimming pool has an automatic cover. The swimming pool, positioned in the garden, with easy access to the house, boasts a large patio surround in pale stone allowing the clients to relax and socialise in the sunshine. Working amongst the backdrop of the rolling Surrey Hills, enabled Guncast to create the natural and classic design for the swimming pool. Guncast also worked closely with the architect to ensure the planting and landscaping around the swimming pool was effective and provided the right feel for the pool.
