Mountain Brook Estate

Custom Estate — Mountain Brook

Type: Custom Home
Style: Modern European
Place: Mountain Brook, AL

Project overview

Mountain Brook Estate is a white plaster estate set into a wooded ridge in Mountain Brook. Steep gables, tall steel windows and a long colonnade give it one clear idea, carried from the front court to the back lawn.

The house is built around water. A reflecting pool runs the length of the entry court, and behind the house a pool terrace steps down the slope with a spa, sun shelf and outdoor dining. Getting plaster walls that crisp, with curves, cut openings and almost no trim to hide behind, is a builder's job as much as a designer's.

What we built

Smooth plaster exterior with curved and tapered openings
Steel windows and doors up to two stories tall
Reflecting pool and colonnade along the entry court
Pool terrace with spa, sun shelf and outdoor dining
