9806 Coldwater Circle
Designed in 1957 by Lyle Rowlely, architect and Co-Founder of Ju-Nel Homes

Lyle Rowley loved unusual lots. The one he selected for his own home was no exception. This sloping pie shaped lot is over an acre and so private most will notice only the carport  from the street. He designed this home for his family in 1957 and they lived in it for 30 years.

It’s obvious the home was designed with entertaining in mind. Notice the expansive open feel.  The majority of the square footage is shared between the two “Great Rooms.” more details about 9806 Coldwater >>

10506 Silverock Dr.
Designed in 1967 by Donald B. Kleinschmidt, architect

This tri-level home sits on a raised corner lot that is surprisingly quiet. Once inside the atmosphere the homeowners have created quickly takes shape. Not much is known about the original owners other than the fact they enjoyed photography  and gardening.  As a result, the exercise room was once originally a dark room. Subsequent owners used it as an office and added a window. All owners since have been of an architectural background.

It’s obvious the home was designed with entertaining in mind. Notice the expansive open feel. The majority of the square footage is shared between the two “Great Rooms.”

Green Labron House Redefines Envirochic

Green and modern rarely have married so well as they do in the Shorecrest house of Robert Diago and Greg Hawthorne.This tony

So when the couple bought the 1950s ranch in 2003, their vision was broad: take it down to the studs to create something beautifully contemporary that minimizes the space used, maximizes the light, and accommodates their lifestyle. All this while meeting the highest environmental standards. >>read about Green Labron
