Four square modern

Colonial

This new home in the Colonial style for a busy South Tampa family includes an acoustically designed music room for their grand piano.   The home is designed as a classic ‘four square’ with a modern twist: the front of the home is formal and classical in its organization, as the main entry hall, foyer and stair divides the dining and music rooms.  

As you move through the arched opening under the stair, the back of the house opens up creating modern, relaxed family spaces.  Custom built-in millwork serves to both define rooms and divide the music room and family room, acting as the ‘occupiable wall’ between them.  Practically, the mechanical (A/C) ductwork is also housed within the depth of that space, both hiding it and creating an aesthetically pleasing feature to pass through as the family moves from one room to another.
