I'm quite proud of the home, but I must give all of the credit to my wife, Jean.
She happens to be a graduate from Georgia Tech and has a PHD in Architecture.
When she did her PHD thesis on contextualism, alot of those principles went into this house
and she teamed up with a well-known architect Jova/Daniels/Busby and they do both commercial
work.
There was an idea to be modern, but there's also an aspect that like being moderne as
well so its a combination and uh, it has a lot of custom features to it.
A spiral staircase that's 5 stories created up in Wisconson.
When you're in the back yard looking up and you see a 5 story curtain wall.
Of course the curtain wall is a 5 story glass structure, so you have the mullians, the special
glass put up so there was a commercial contractor and manufacture who fabricated this 5 story
curtain wall.
We have a 4 story elevator.
There's all custom cabinetry... hundreds of thousands of dollars that went to that custom
cabinetry as well and it was created up in Michigan too.
We wanted lots of natural material used within the house, but we wanted a modern building.
We wanted to have a lot of natural materials used throughout the house, so you'll see that
there's oak floors throughout the house and a lot of natural materials, stones used in
the flooring in the kitchen, again all customized brought in from other parts of the world,
but I think it adds a softness to the modern house as well.
It has latest HVAC system so it is highly energy efficient.
It has that nice combination for entertaining of a lot of space, there's a lot of deck space
outside, there's some capability of seating a lot of people inside, but there's also I
find nice pockets of intimacy.
Well, again I'm sure the buyer of this house that they are going to get a modern home that
has a lot of integrity, architecturally very well thought through, located in an outstanding
neighborhood and really a lot of love and thought went into this, this was a culmination
of creating a dream house and it has been a dream house for us and I know its going
to be a dream house for you as well.
