This suburban home in Carmel, Indiana, takes inspiration from typical mountain houses found in the north of the United States but includes a contemporary and industrial touch. The architect and designer Gary Nance decided to make the immense surrounding landscape the undisputed protagonist of this residence, by letting it enter overwhelmingly through the imposing windows.
The entrance is set into a large glass façade featuring an Oikos Nova safety door. It becomes a focal point from which every visitor is attracted, thanks to the gaze that stretches beyond the interior of the house and reaches the spectacular view of the outdoor green oasis with a swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, and an 18-hole golf course designed by Pete Dye.
A detail that catches the eye and gives character to the style of the residence is the contrast among the textures: the modern metal of the Nova pivoting door contrasts with the fully hand-hewn recycled wooden beams. The effect obtained is that of a simultaneous sensation of warmth and freshness, making the façade of the house an exhibition piece.
