A large overhang and warm ipe cladding give this new addition a hint of midcentury style. At the same time, sliding glass doors create a smooth transition into the family room.

Inside, guests will find a midcentury family room with a collection of furniture classics: an Italian leather sofa, a wicker egg chair, a natural wood coffee table and a modern light fixture. An area rug softens the floors, while windows fill the room with natural light.

On either side of the mounted TV, black tile becomes a bold wall treatment. Matching armchairs in teal give the space a touch of symmetry as well.

In this little reading area, a wicker egg chair offers a cozy spot to curl up with a book. Its enviable position near the window is sure to be the best seat in the house.

Kids love secret play spots, and adults love to tuck the mess out of sight. A play nook may just be the best invention ever; even a small space can provide a world of possibilities to kids and their imaginations.

On the patio, four cushioned chairs and a modern fire pit allow for year-round entertaining. While the kids play on the lawn, the owners and their friends can exchange casual conversation.

From the side, guests can really see how the ipe cladding warms the home's crisp white exterior. The reclaimed breezeblock adds visual interest as well.
