"Beauty—The Adjustment Of All Parts Proportionately So That One Cannot Add Or Subtract Or Change Without Impairing The Harmony Of The Whole.” - Leon Battista Alberti

“A Designer Knows He Has Achieved Perfection, Not When There Is Nothing Left To Add, But When There Is Nothing Left To Take Away.” - Antoine de Stain-Exupery

2530 Fox Street is the striking culmination of Formation Architects, Boyer Building Corporation and Julian Home Couture working together to capture the essence of classical architectural ideals, balanced with the way we live in the modern world. With impeccable attention to detail and scale, the home pays homage to many great and notable architectural monuments without losing sight of the fact that this is a home, not an outsized civic space. The home has purpose, feeling and layers, much like the way we live—it can accommodate the most formal dinner party or a casual gathering at the kitchen island.

Throughout the home you find references to ancient Greek and Roman design in the columns and vaults while the expansive windows with dark window grids recall the industrial buildings of turn-of-the-20th-century America. Even with these historic references, the home maintains a balance of elegance and ease, embodying the classic soul of French and Italian design.

The unique arc of the floor-plan accomplishes two things. First it allows the living spaces to be concentrated on the back of the home with plenty of windows for natural light...and views to the private yard; second, it allows open flow but keeps a visitor wanting more with a “what’s around the corner” type of excitement.

The expansive windows throughout the home frame the canvas of nature’s ever-changing work of art that is the private back yard. The many doors allow for easy flow from interior to exterior spaces on both the front and back sides of the home. The yard offers numerous sitting areas, a large yard for a future pool and an expansive patio off the sun room making for a perfect home to enjoy the summer months—both inside or out.

Throughout the home, fine materials and inspired design combine to create the designer’s vision of elegance and harmony, soul and spirit. These material selections give the home a feeling of substance and panache: Hand-made mosaics, Wrought iron railings, Carved woodwork, Paneled walls, Mahogany, Cherry and Sapele millwork, Lush carpet, Marble, Fossil granite, Soapstone, Natural stone, Slate, Ceramic tile, Custom lighting, and high end appliances and mechanicals.

Every walk through this home is a tour of discovery; each tour revealing a nuance I hadn’t noticed before. From the unique grain of the wood on the stair tread to the details of the lion carvings in the owner’s suite or the realization that the curvature of the main stair opposes the curvature of the home’s floor plan...there is always something new to discover.
