Informal Resort Lifestyle: 2006 BALA Award Winner

Gold Award for Best Single-Family Detached Home 4,001 Square Feet and Over
January 31, 2007

BEST IN PACIFIC REGION

 

With its courtyards and loggias defining a relationship to the outdoors, this plan feels as though you are in a resort, not a home. The interior follows through with informality by eliminating the standard use of a foyer, living room and dining room.

This floor plan accommodates two kitchens for optimal functionality: one opening to the great room for informal use and one functioning as a catering kitchen for entertainment. The master suite has three levels: the first floor with a retreat for watching television, a second floor office and a third floor tower for coastal views.
