2931 ELBOW PARK | MODERN STYLE | 3300 SQ.FT.

This West Coast Contemporary residence blends modern architectural elegance in a bold, sculptural form. Designed around an L-shaped footprint with an attached front side-drive garage, the home presents a commanding street presence with a focus on clean lines and balanced geometric massing.

38 WATERMARK | MODERN STYLE | 3840 SQ.FT.

This West Coast Contemporary residence embodies modern architectural expression in a bold, sculptural form. The dramatic butterfly roof and soaring stone massing walls, which extend from the ground plane past the roofline, create a powerful street presence. An L-shaped footprint with a front side-drive garage organizes the plan, while the sculptural staircase displayed behind two-and-a-half-storey vaulted glass defines the front elevation as the home’s architectural centerpiece.

38 WATERPOINTE | MODERN STYLE | 4250 SQ.FT.

A bold interpretation of Scandinavian design, the exterior is clad in black Hardie vertical Artisan siding with black asphalt and standing seam metal roofing. The staircase is framed by raked windows that trace the roof pitch and anchor a chandelier as a focal point, while the basement integrates a half basketball court as a distinctive recreational space within the home.
