Take In This Architect-Designed Contemporary Estate

9900-Preston-Road-2

If you’ve ever wondered why an architect-designed home is always an intelligent buy, this contemporary estate is a case in point.

Architects never fall prey to the trendy. They listen to clients needs and creatively solve any problems that may crop up. Their heads are not turned away from the big picture, so in the long run they save you money and create a home that will last forever.

This architect-designed contemporary estate looks like it was finished last year. It was designed and built in 1997. Do you see what I mean? It’s not dated. It’s certainly not trendy. It’s classic, contemporary architecture, and still incredibly cool.

Gregory Ibañez, FAIA, co-founder with Bart Shaw, FAIA, of Ibañez Shaw Architecture is responsible for the timeless design of this contemporary estate.

“All the homes that we’ve done are unique,” Ibañez said.“Each one is tailored to the client. It’s always best to follow your principles and not get caught up in trends. Lifestyles evolve. For instance, there is a new importance on home offices now that did not exist years ago. That was always part of the client’s desires for this home.

“This particular home was very much a reflection of the client and his desire for a contemporary home that spoke to his lifestyle and that of his family. We built the original home in 1997. Recently we added a larger pool house with a living area, and a shaded deck area by the pool.”

The octagonal tower houses a first-floor office. The second level has a cool kids’ bedroom with a spiral staircase to a secret loft.

What is striking about architect-designed homes is the forward thought. Consider that build date. Few people recognized the importance of a home office in 1997, but remember what I said, architects listen. The client was clearly ahead of the times in requesting that home office, which is now essential to any home.

AIA’s 2020 Home Design Trends Survey, which identifies emerging trends in home design, proved the home office is now an essential part of any home. The growth of home offices was 29 percent in 2019 and 68 percent in Q3 of 2020.

This 6,980-square-foot, five bedroom, six bathroom contemporary estate is so far ahead of it’s time that frankly, I’d hire both the the architect of this house AND the owner to advise me on any build. Talk about a tag team of insight and talent!

That foresight included what everyone wants today, blended outdoor and indoor living. The most recent Q2 2021 AIA Home Design Trends Survey found that “there has been a dramatic increase in outdoor living spaces with covered living areas leading the way at an increase of 21 percent over 2020.”

Now, this is a pool house!

So, it’s not surprising our forward-thinking seller improved the outdoor space with that 1,000-square-foot cabana and a huge outdoor TREX deck. You can easily accommodate a band here for all those parties we are ready to host!

Although the private gated entrance fronts Preston Road, there is a second gated entrance off of Mimosa Lane. “Because of the trees and the size of the lot (almost an acre), it’s like you are on your own little island,” listing agent Pogir Pogir of Briggs Freeman Sothebys said.

Architect-designed homes stand the test of time because architects not only create a sensible, workable, timeless home, they also know how to touch our souls.
