Beautifully designed indoor and outdoor living spaces blend together seamlessly in this modern family home.
Monochromatic walls and furnishings juxtaposed with natural building materials, white oak floors, slate tile, quartzite counters, and cedar siding add warmth. This home seamlessly unites a modern minimalistic design with the outside space.
Interior spaces billow with natural light through expansive windows and skylights illuminating the built-in niches.

“Martin and everyone else at Giraffe made the design process collaborative and exciting, and at the same time provided honest, pragmatic feedback that kept deliverables within budget. Our modern aesthetic fit perfectly with their vision of a wide-open communal space that placed the kitchen at the center of the home."

"We credit Giraffe with the creative use of materials, proven ergonomics and a tried and true layout plan that just works. They've stood behind their work down to the smallest detail. We couldn't be happier!”
