bouldin creek residence
Featuring crisp lines and light-filled rooms, this single-story Bouldin Creek home was conceived as both a quiet retreat from an urban environment, and as an accessible space for a multi-generational family to live out their golden years. Neatly tucked between a smaller bungalow and taller townhome, the residence creates a fluid gradation between the neighboring rooflines, further blending it within its environment.
Outdoors, northeast and southwest courtyards balance heat and light around the home’s perimeter, with either one being warm and bright or cool and shady as the sun sets throughout the day. Designed to preserve the site’s mature Crepe Myrtle trees, the northeast courtyard acts as an auditory and visual buffer from the bustling adjacent road, enclosing a natural pond and thriving herbal garden in the semi-private front entryway. The southeast courtyard, envisioned as a private outdoor haven, includes a walk-in saltwater pool and a lush botanical garden to create a subtle visual boundary between the guest quarters and master suite. With a LEED platinum rating, the home optimizes sustainability and efficiency by using a geothermal HVAC network, a 15-kilowatt rooftop photovoltaic array, and a rainwater collection irrigation system. Indoors, the main living area is a communal zone, centrally located to unite two separate wings on either side. The eastern wing includes two guest suites with private southeast courtyard entries, and one caretaker suite with northeast courtyard entry. The western wing, featuring an office and a master suite with a wheelchair-accessible washroom, is arranged in furthest from the communal living area to enhance privacy. High ceilings and double-story glazing expand the space, allowing soft natural light to filter in throughout the day for a serene, open living experience that’s welcoming to friends and family.
