Don Nelson Architecture

An uninspiring ‘70s house has been transformed into a grand country estate following an extensive makeover by Don Nelson Architecture. The owners wanted to add onto the house, which had a steeply pitched roof. Establishing the right balance between this roof and the flat-roofed addition was challenging but ultimately successful. The solution was to dress up the entire façade, wrapping new curved elements right around the house including the entrance, creating a sense of arrival and then stretching the curves out to accommodate a large extension. Curves also feature inside, where a bulkhead and skylights are echoed by the shape of the polished rosewood cabinetry reminiscent of a super yacht. The renovation involved a large addition to accommodate all the family living areas, including a new media room.
