Though Dawn Christine, Architect PLLC has demonstrated its affinity for architectural design across an array of projects, one that stands out among the rest is its award-winning High Tech Modern Residence endeavor. Influenced by the concept of ‘making ordinary extraordinary’, Dawn Christine sought to bring a new meaning to the world of modern architecture in line with the brief provided. The clients wanted a modern home that made use of state-of-the-art features, while also boasting abundance of outdoor space – complete with a guest house that would seamlessly integrate into the main home. Though incredibly detailed, the concept was invigorating, and the team at Dawn Christine, Architect PLLC quickly got to applying its vast skillset to make this dream a reality.
From the moment the connection was made between Dawn Christine, Architect PLLC and its client, it received a very clear understanding of the sort of features the home needed to include in order to truly fulfill the brief. Essentially, the client was seeking a bold, geometric home that would stand as the pinnacle of modern architecture both inside and out. Creating a spatial experience was to be a common thread throughout the home’s design – inclusive of room for a ballet studio and gym – and thus Dawn and her team got to work developing a concept that wouldn’t only live up to their wishes but exceed their expectations. From the initial sketch, it was clear that Dawn had homed in on even the tiniest of ideas proposed and went above and beyond to seamlessly integrate them.
This starting point began with the conceptual main and guest house floor plan. Every aspect – from the main house being positioned to take advantage of southern exposure for consistent natural light, to the guest house being designed to block harsh western exposure – not only considered what the client wanted but built upon it. Throughout this plan, Dawn remained mindful of just how essential natural light is to enhancing modern builds, and therefore designed a layout that would maximize beneficial light, while blocking out harsh, disruptive light. As such, Dawn created mindful floorplans that captured her sheer breadth of experience, all while masterfully paying homage to the client’s initial ideas.
From the outline of the floorplans, to the conceptual design of the guest house’s elevation, Dawn took every factor into account during the planning process. In fact, this eye for detail further extended to the site plan, wherein the firm considered the location of the home in order to cultivate a design that mingled with the surrounding area. Planned for construction in Sanford – a traditional North Carolina neighborhood – the house needed to combine privacy and distance to uphold the pre-existing atmosphere of the area. In the end, Dawn overcame this obstacle, placing the planned property on a secluded section of hillside. As such, not only was the natural environment protected, but the privacy of the residents would be upheld too.
Once all of these factors had been decided upon, it was time for Dawn and her team to draft up how to use the space in a way that was both inventive and aligned with the effect the client was hoping to achieve. At its core, the property needed to capture a sense of grandiose spaciousness – a challenge that Dawn eagerly rose to. Equipped with her vision and creativity, she thoughtfully combined the concept of an open plan with varying ceiling heights to encourage a sense of scale between rooms. This ultimately means that, when constructed, the home will possess an impression of spatial exploration – a dynamic aspect topped with artistic lighting fixtures and ambient details.
Additionally, Dawn Christine, Architect PLLC takes the use of different materials very seriously. It has long since identified the impact of various colors, textures, and finishes on a completed space, and therefore integrated a myriad of options throughout the home. For instance, the kitchen has been designed to include top class white and grey granite with mingling elements, while the Great Room seeks to boast an 8ft linear fireplace complete with textured plaster. Partnered with the careful consideration that’s gone into how various planes coincide with one another, Dawn has crafted a spectacular blend of styles and materials to truly elevate the sense of open space throughout the home.
However, the spectacle of the Great Room doesn’t end there. Extending from this space is both a spatial and functional feature of the Great Room – the ethereal stair. Noted as a collage of art, with various dramatic architectural elements bouncing off one another, this area provides natural light and artistic elegance in abundance. Complete with a wine display and a space specifically carved out for the family’s baby grand piano, this particular segment of the room brings attention to the modern sophistication of the build, while simultaneously elevating the ambience of the room itself. Presented as such a simple yet effective space, this element of the Great Room demonstrates every aspect that makes Dawn Christine, Architect PLLC truly unique.
Though the floorplan includes at least five bedrooms, one standout is easily the Master Bedroom. Between its linear elements and walk in closet, this room has been carefully designed to elicit a sense of rest and relaxation within its dwellers. Dawn has quite clearly mastered the art of designing rooms that seamlessly adhere to their intended purposes, and the Master Bedroom is no different. Similarly to the house’s other rooms, this space is clean, precise, and mapped out to perfection, allowing for an enhanced level of luxury that’s only further emphasized by the secluded patio. Every aspect of the Master Bedroom captures elegant serenity, and it’s a treat to see such an environment fully realized in 3D.
From the bathrooms to the stylish bedrooms, the High Tech Modern Residence project presented Dawn Christine, Architect PLLC with the chance to demonstrate its impeccable understanding of enriching spaces with thoughtful modern elegance. Every inch of the home exudes an undeniable sense of space, granting each area a certain breathability that’s bound to be appreciated by the family and their guests alike.
