This striking contemporary residence seamlessly blends architectural sophistication with natural harmony, creating an urban oasis that feels worlds away from city life. Nestled on a private wooded lot, the home's clean stucco exterior and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows provide a serene backdrop that allows the surrounding forest canopy to take center stage. The three-story design embraces a philosophy of indoor-outdoor living, where each level extends beyond its walls through thoughtfully planned terraces and balconies, culminating in an expansive covered rooftop terrace that offers seasonal glimpses of the distant lake through the changing foliage. The home's geometric form is softened by cascading greenery from integrated planters that blur the boundaries between built and natural environments, creating a living facade that evolves with the seasons. The infinity-edge pool serves as the focal point of the outdoor living experience, its reflective surface mirroring both sky and surrounding trees while creating the illusion of water extending seamlessly into the landscape. Combined with multi-level outdoor spaces, this thoughtfully designed residence achieves its goal of creating a complete retreat where residents can escape the urban environment without leaving the city limits, proving that contemporary architecture can honor and enhance its natural setting. Current designs can easily be scaled down to fit buyer's budget.
