The 5,200-square-foot residence balances transitional architecture with livability — formal enough to anchor the streetscape, relaxed enough for a young family. Blackstone worked closely with the architect and owners through an extended design-build process, refining details from foundation to landscape. The pool and outdoor living areas extend the home's footprint into the property, creating a resort-like environment that disappears into the hillside. ## What we built 1. Ground-up custom build on premium Mountain Brook lot 2. Pool and outdoor living integration with hillside topography 3. Transitional architecture balancing formal and casual living 4. Extended design-build collaboration with architect and owner 5. Premium finishes throughout with custom millwork The page shows 9 photographs of this project.
