Perfecting Function and Form

From the kitchen or gallery, you step down from the hard-wood floors to the stained concrete floors of the family room.  The stained-wood bead-board vaulted ceiling manages to create a warm feel in a large room.


When entering from the porta cachere, you can go straight into the family room, or veer right through the mud room -- with a locker for each family member (there are 5) -- to the kitchen.
