TangleTown Modernist
A prime example of design that cultivates wellness, TangleTown Modernist exemplifies visual clarity with clean sightlines and intuitive flow. Vast expanses of glass maximize daylight and frame treetop views. Come nightfall, Lutron-controlled shades draw with one touch. Thermal Comfort Zoning personalizes interior temperatures. Open floor plan allows for change as needs evolve—from inspiring home office to light-filled art studio. Clever practicalities abound. Serving four levels, the integrated dumbwaiter carries groceries from car to kitchen and wine fridge to roof deck. Cabinetry and flooring of rift sawn oak deliver timeless warmth and durability. Bedrooms are gathered to foster family connection. Custom ambient lighting complements intentional task lighting. Effortless access to terraces on three levels dissolves boundaries between indoors and out. This brilliant example of wellness architecture translates to low friction living, where form meets function and comfort meets convenience.
