Nestled in the hills of Union Bay is a 6,000 square foot home that brings the very best of architecture and family living together as one. Built on the same land that once held the owner’s childhood home, this beautifully structured residence captures what it truly means to be a family home. We can’t wait to show you the beauty that the geniuses at NB Design Group created.

Gorgeous views are certainly not in short supply here. Pocket doors and wide windows cover the back of the home, letting in natural light and bay breezes. That light warms the open spaces of the dining room, family room, kitchen, and breakfast bay. The neutral tones of the interior create an elegant yet relaxed setting. You’ll find plenty of earth-inspired tones throughout the home

The waterfront and surrounding landscape gives queues to the interior tones of soft greens, dusty blues, and natural wood. Unique sculptural wood and fresh greenery can be found all over the home, making the line between nature and architecture blur in the best way possible. 

In a space as tranquil as this one, relaxation is sure to be found as easily as driftwood on the shore. A freestanding tub takes centerstage in the master bathroom, backed by a wall of warm-toned wood that extends from the inside to the exterior. 

Outside you’ll find a grassy courtyard, dock, and a cozy little boathouse that is original to the property. When the natural sunshine of day fades, this home brightens ups and bathes the yard in light. It is then that shadows play and highlight the drama of the architecture.

We are so in love with this family retreat and can’t wait to see more from NB Design Group. Their portfolio is full of modern marvels, cabin-style getaways, and so much more! Check it out here, and be sure to keep up with their latest projects on Instagram.
