This eco conscious one-of-a-kind Mid Century Modern home, was designed by renowned architect Walter S White - a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright. Named Las Ventanas house, Spanish for windows, captures the mountain landscape through the expansive walls of 300+ windows. These innovative rotating windows, patented by White, not only take advantage of unparalleled views, but are capable of heat/cool exchange, conserving considerable amounts of energy. White’s signature Hyperbolic-Paraboloid roof system is also featured in this home, which produces laminar flow of air from the lower to upper windows. This design element effectively cools the home in the summer. No detail was spared in White’s innovative design. As you enter the home on the main level, you are welcomed into a minimalist’s dream, featuring clean lines, open spaces & unique design features such as the rich use of imported Honduran mahogany & imported precision milled slate floors. Separating the great room, dining room, & kitchen are sliding ornate wood panels designed by Frank Wright imported from Lake Geneva. The gourmet kitchen boasts countertops that were imported from Italy & cut from an ancient river rock-bed that had been in-filled with lava. The cabinets are full custom Downsview. The 600sqft kitchen features a brick set fireplace w/ gas insert, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Sub-Zero freezer, Sub-Zero wine refrigerator, Wolf gas & induction cooking in the island w/ downdraft vent, Gaggenau steamer & oven, Miele warming drawer & dishwasher, Kitchen-Aid compactor. On the opposite wing of the home, the 1200sqft main level master, boasts solid birch walls, an impressive black marble wall & fireplace, sitting area, & walks out to the huge concrete & wood tiled deck, enclosed by 7' glass wall.
