The front facade
It's the really odd combination of modern and Palladian / neo-classicm that I love and that is so hard to find. Designed by Jeff Dungan in Birmingham for the designer, Richard Tubb, the house has a minimalist limestone facade and a mix of rustic wood and highly finished bronze...finishes.
The best part, floor plans!
The interior was designed to be very open to allow for a lot of light; I especially love the interior balcony off the bedroom into the 2 story living room!

I won't bore you with the pictures of the basement family room which features the generic 'industrial' style so popular now with developers but that could easily be 'fixed' to fit in more with the architecture of the building and detailed like the living room.
the 2 story living room - beautiful windows!

It's always risky to extrapolate from 3 photos, but this looks like a beauty of a house, and rather than Palladio, the monumental feel of the small facade reminds me of Ledoux, and the crispness of its openings, the straightforward metal fenestration & the cool articulation of the interior volumes make me think of Robert Mallet-Stevens. The guy definitely has talent. At any rate I'll check this magazine out. Thanks for the heads-up.
So when are we gonna see that house design of yours?
oh, one of these days, one of these days ;-)
MIKE says : wow I absolutely love it , would love to see your house design to !
I love where you say - Best part! FLoor plans! I agree! I love when the add the floor plans. I sometimes spends hours looking at a house I like in a magazine trying to put the floor plan together in my mind.
CdT - floor plans are my porn! Luckily I get to work with them nearly everyday at work! Ever since I was a little kid I just loved to sketch floor plans -i can see it 3d in my head!
