Exaggerated Open-Concept Homes

The Ridge Road Residence by StudioFour Displays Minimalistic Design

— September 22, 2012 — Luxury
The Ridge Road Residence by StudioFour displays the advantages of open concept living mixed with contemporary design.

The home incorporates both the concept of private and public space by using glass walls to welcome light. The architects employed a non-intrusive approach to designing the Ridge Road residence by capitalizing the natural slopes of this home's surroundings. This works in stark contrast to its surrounding counterparts and provides dwellers with an ultra-modern standout abode.

According to the architects, "varying levels of interaction and connection with the landscape, both real and perceived, drive all aspects of the design." This makes for breathtaking views and square footage that seems infinite in its embrace of outdoor space. It is commendable that StudioFour is creating architecture that brings serenity in its proximity to nature without sacrificing forward-thinking design.
