The most magnificent feature in the design of this house is that every room shares the commonality of a window wall . These expansive walls break the boundaries between the indoor and the outdoor , challenging the perception of living within four walls . As you move through the house and as you turn the corner you are always surprised by a wall of windows . To further break down the separation between the indoors and outdoors I chose clean lined Brown Jordan outdoor furnishings in the color palette of the exterior ; the notion is to not see the seating but to blend it with the house and eliminate the transition to nature .
“ The boys love the pool and we spend tons of time outside as a result ,” said Leslie . “ Although the house is more casual , it still feels elegant , sophisticated and fun . Folks ooh and aah when they walk in and then just curl up on the sofa or out on the terrace . I can ’ t really put my finger on it , but the house has a vacation vibe . You want to be in it and enjoy it .”
Billy Haines-inspired chairs , a retro Hollywood Regency brass sconce , an antique Moroccan Beni Ourain rug , and artwork by David Kroll complete the living room space , where the whole family gathers including Hamlet , a rescue dog .
