Home Details for 5457 S COTTONWOOD CLUB E DR

The approach to this home remains one of my favorites, characterized by massive aggregate facades. While this material is a common mid-century detail in commercial buildings, this home utilizes large aggregate wall forms that were cast flat and tilted into place. Stephen MacDonald favored this tilt-up construction for its efficiency and affordability, as well as its alignment with "soft modern" or organic modern design. These walls transition seamlessly from the interior to the outdoors, blurring the lines between the two environments, while post-and-beam construction ties the upper portion together with beautiful wood. The interior features a water feature that runs through the home like a stream, bisecting the main room. Large boulders, polished by years of use as stepping stones, enhance the organic aesthetic. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls at the rear open to a long fountain, ensuring the sound of water echoes throughout the property. The home retains its original mid-century architectural details, including beautifully integrated pegboard and pristine light wood veneer. To complement these features, Anne-Marie Barton has added subtle updates, including the art of Kintsugi adopted by my seller. This Japanese influence reflects Stephen MacDonald's own design history, such as his Millcreek office, which featured shoji screens. This home truly represents a perfect balance of architectural purity and thoughtful modern touches.
