French Arts & Crafts Style

2004 Aurora Award

Unlike the majority of the homes we design, this 5,445 square foot home is centered on multi-acreage in Southeast Orange County, and is not intended to be seen from the road. The owners wanted a rural, cottage feel with a touch of European sophistication and lots of volume and light. The home has a full-depth, concrete walled wine cellar which doubles as a storm shelter -- perfect for waiting out a Florida hurricane.
