MODERN COUNTRY HOME IN LINCOLN
Verdeco Park, Lincoln
The aim of this home was to provide a relaxing retreat from the outside world. As it is located in a new subdivision without established trees or fences for privacy, a “defensive” street frontage was designed to create a protected barrier from the street and neighbours. Upon entry, the house opens up to stunning views of farmland beyond.
The house is divided into two wings separated at the entry, one for the master suite, living, and entertainment areas and the other for guests and family to visit. The front of the house is fortified with stone and limited windows to maintain privacy. The restrained color palette outside contrasts with neighbouring homes, whilst the interior palette provides the perfect background for showcasing the clients’ treasures and memories.
Entertaining is important, so an outdoor room was created to be enjoyed year-round. This space boasts a gas fire, louvred roof, and glazing all around to protect from the elements. Wings were created to shelter the property from prevailing winds, and the central focus is the pool, accessible from the living spaces and pool room.
His and Hers garaging reduces the overall impact of a large garage by breaking it into two separate garages. A hidden spa accessed via the master ensuite is shielded from neighbors by the stone wall that wraps around the frontage of the house.
The home features a series of outdoor spaces designed to suit the weather and allow for flexibility in enjoying the sun or seeking shelter from it. Overall, the home strikes the perfect balance between privacy, comfort, and entertainment.
Masterfully built by GMAC Builders, we are very proud of this home and the love, care and attention it received from those involved.
Architecture, Values, Getting it right
At Bespoke Architecture we get professional satisfaction in meeting the challenges of small and large budgets with creative solutions to build a home that is exactly right for our clients, with no wasted space or unnecessary detail. The difference between average design and great design is usually in the quality of the thinking invested and true understanding of the client’s needs and wants. An excellent relationship is sure to lead to better architecture, so we put energy into that, too.
The extra hours we invest in thinking through options and solutions are rarely billed but they allow us to consistently produce work we’re proud of. And there’s a lot of it. We park our ego at the door every morning and our sole goal is to get it right for our Clients. But we are quietly chuffed that in each of the past five years, our work has won national awards.
So what should you expect from us and why? Excellent architectural design (based on a genuinely caring attitude, strong architectural skills, deep commitment to the work), experienced and pragmatic problem solving (regulatory hurdles always need to be jumped and unexpected site issues will often crop up so we’ve become very effective at managing these), a high degree of responsiveness (clients frequently comment on this). We answer your calls and your questions promptly (fearless discussions), we bring our knowledge, skills, experience, creativity and commitment to every conversation — we’re all trying to achieve an outstanding result for you, after all.
If this sounds good and you’d like to talk to us about your project, we’d welcome your contact. We love architecture and producing an ideal result for our clients is what makes us tick.
