Another view facing the Informal Dining Niche from the Great Room. "Something's Gotta Give" the movie became the muse for much of the interior feel, though the floor plan is completely divergent from the movie soundstage. Window styles, interior transoms, colors, textures and decor were intended...

The master bath was designed to feel like a spa get-away. The jetted soaking tub sits opposite lovely his and hers sinks flanking the walking to the steam shower and sauna. The secluded lot provided a perfect view to the gardens below.

The second floor octagonal bedroom presented challenges. Bed location and access to the Jack and Jill bath, as well as its walk in closet required special attention to at least two walls sufficient for children's beds and furniture. The octagonal exterior form provided an eclectic look as you...
