New Home Design...Finished in 2007 Simmons | Fouts | Fichtel Architecture and Design Scott F. Walmsley Homes - Builder 5,300 Heated SF on Two Stories 5 BR / 3.5 Baths Inspired by the profoundly simple elegance of one of Edward Lutyen's English country homes, the architects set upon the task of adapting it to contemporary living on costal Louisiana. The living spaces of the home open up to an inspired view over centuries-old family farmland and toward the Gulf of Mexico, balanced on one end by a semi-circular Porte Cochere at the open approach and on the other by a half-round Master Bedroom tucked into the privacy of the thick woods. Twin stairs on each end of the keeping room lead up to a more private family room surrounded by bedrooms for the younger generation of family members and a gracious sleeping porch for visiting family and friends. Ample space tucked under the steep roof allows for future expansion as the family continues to grow. Though instigated by unfortunate circumstances, the new home promises a safe haven for generations to come.
