Kern Residence

Wonderful Kern Residence Design by Semple Brown Design, built at Castle Pines at Colorado State in the United States, small spotlights “Residence Kern”, beautiful, a superb modern Villa compiled and designed by studio architecture and design Brown Semple. Give the most original entrance with its bridge across the pond, studying all the information about this wonderful home. The design team’s intent was to create a 12,000 square foot residence, similar in scale and character as the clients’ New York loft. Significant effort was made to resist repeating the typically conservative style of Castle Pines Village – create a modern and sophisticated piece of architecture, suited for the clients’ modern and sophisticated personalities.

The architecture was intended to be ambient, in that it was secondary to, and served as a backdrop for the rest of the site.
The building wanted to relate to and compliment the site’s meticulously manicured landscape – Japanese Gardens, ponds, pathways, and architectural feature.

Given the size and scale of the project, the site – a long slender lot with significant grade change – became a challenging factor during design. Developing the building’s massing became a crucial exercise in delicately fitting the program onto the site while creating the illusion of a smaller structure.

In order to best respond to the site and relate the structure to its context, the entry point into the house needed to be a full story lower in elevation than the arrival point onto the site, thus resulting in the challenge of gracefully bringing the home owners and visitors alike down to the front door through a landscaped outdoor room.
