INTERIORS
The waterfront home benefits from a predominant trade wind on the kitchen side of the property . The design allows the breeze to enter the kitchen through the skylight and then disperse at a high level at the other end of the great room .
The Villa ’ s distinctive trapezoidal approach to the roofline enables the breeze to flow across the entire space . “ The roofline was pitched to largely face south for solar panel optimization . Also , the breeze is mostly from the south / east , so several hidden dormer windows were positioned to receive the free cooling effect of the wind . The offset roof pitch also really gives this building its personality ,” says Greenfield .
American white oak was specified to line the internal surfaces of the ceilings . The wood provides a rich contrast to the native stone walls and Jerusalem stone floors .
