Elevated French Country Manor

Inspired by traditional architecture of the French Countryside, this elegant suburban manor home is refined from its more rustic, country roots with contemporary details to fit the modern metropolitan setting. The visibility and prominence of the elevated corner lot required a striking house with strong architectural character to hold the corner and act as a focal point for the neighborhood. A traditional, formal entry portico contrasts with the understated detailing of the simple symmetrical façade to punctuate the streetscape. The design employs tall steel-look windows, steeply-sloping roof gables, and deliberately restrained trim details to add a degree of refinement and elegance.
