Dusk exterior of a two-story residence with twin gables
A contemporary residential exterior precedent demonstrating how twin gabled upper volumes can sit above a fully glazed ground-floor living pavilion overlooking a pool.
- What we like about this project
- The central chimney stack rises monolithically between the twin gables, anchoring the symmetrical upper facade.
