Custom Build up to 3,000 square feet

Beacon Hill Residence

The owners of this modern home were looking for a welcoming, unassuming design with an efficient and contemporary look. The architects designed this fully custom residence with a comfortable, forward-thinking concept and a distinguished style—all neatly packed within a home size suited to the scale of the surrounding neighborhood. Minimalist lines and spaces create a sleek modern ambiance that inspires social interaction and blends with the numerous outdoor spaces. Large windows bathe interior spaces in natural light while providing amazing views of the downtown skyline. This house is a one-of-a-kind retreat in the middle of the city that creates ideal spaces for every social situation, from dining with guests to enjoying outdoor amenities with family.

With an emphasis on environmental responsibility, the home features a high-performance envelope, rooftop solar panels, high-efficiency HVAC and deep-set roof overhangs that safeguard southern-facing windows. The strong indoor-outdoor relationship is enhanced by expansive glass windows, sliding glass doors and connections to multiple outdoor spaces. Clerestory windows on the main level bring in abundant natural light and establish a visual connection to the sky. With its thoughtful design, the building’s orientation ensures living spaces have direct views of the downtown skyline, elevating this unique urban-dwelling home’s overall appeal and functionality.
