Disegn Home Mission Style

Home Mission Style

The first thing that catches your eye as you approach this striking home is the roof, with its undulating pattern and texture, and soft, muted colors.

The exterior walls have a thick coating of stucco, and brick veneer wraps around the columns and arches. There's a lovely 20' by 20' courtyard at the front, and a porte cochere on the left side of the house that you pass through on the way to the 3–car garage. And on the inside, angled walls create atypical living spaces that are uniquely beautiful and fully functional.

The dining room is as beautiful as it is unique! It's essentially a 15' by 15' square with the corners removed, producing an octagon–shaped room. The shape is reinforced in the ceiling, with a 9' height at the edges that rises to 10' in the octagon–shaped center. Large windows at the rear and one corner provide plenty of light and views, and a door in another corner opens to a casual dining area off the kitchen. Oh, and did we mention the two–sided fireplace flanked by built–in cabinets that can be enjoyed from both the dining room and the family area?

Before entering the family area from the foyer you pass a large window with a window seat beneath it that is flanked on either side by bookshelves. The designer refers to the open family area as the sitting room. Like nearly all the rooms in this unique house, angled walls create spaces that are unusual but somehow familiar. In the sitting area, this is accomplished by having a 90–degree "corner", one wall of which is created with the use of a soffit and the edge of a countertop beneath it. At the point of the "corner", right next to the kitchen, there's a deck positioned beneath a window.
