This project evolved in two parts, first we designed a new, LEED for Homes (GOLD certified) traditional style family home in a historic neighborhood. The result was a sunny, elegant yet informal, home based on traditional shingle-style forms with a casual, but classic, interior. The home was carefully sited on its sloping corner lot, using stepped terraces to anchor the house as well as creating separate areas for the pool, yard and garage entrance. A four-season porch extends into the yard and frames a stone patio for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The pool-facing folding wall seamlessly allows for the full expansion of the space from inside to outside – perfect for this active family.

" The NanaWall Cero system blew us all away. When it was proposed to us by our NanaWall rep, we could imagine the size of the panels and the amazing view that would be captured. But the automation, silence of operation, and massive opening size we achieved had people's jaws dropping."
