Open, Private, Cool

The Edward Durell Stone designed home is almost magical. One can stand in the middle of the home and look outside in all four directions. The exterior of the home is wrapped in glass, allowing 360º outside views. And yet one feels a sense of privacy because of the brise soleil that embraces the home. This provides the first layer of privacy. The pair of carved wood screens found on both sides of the public rooms create another layer of privacy. One can see out but people cannot see in. The interior pools are cool! They are dramatically and aesthetically cool, and the water is cool. Interior water features and pools are traditionally problematic. Here architect Russell Buchanan and interior designer David Cadwallader were able to recreate and accentuate the original design of Edward Durell Stone that included these interior pools of water because of the construction competence of the @SebastianConstructionGroup. The pools were engineered and cooled to provide the visual and emotional appeal of the water without any undesirable side effects.
