The street elevation is deliberately restrained. A stone-clad volume appears to hover above a reflecting pond, with a single tree rising from an island at its center. Between the solid planes, a double-height glazed entry frames a dark stone pivot door, lit from within at dusk. Visitors reach it across floating pavers laid over the water, so the approach becomes a moment of pause before the house reveals anything more.
Inside, the double-height foyer is anchored by a full-height wall of veined stone. Against it, white oak treads cantilever upward with nothing beneath them and only a frameless rail beside them, drawing the eye up to the gallery and the bedrooms above. Pale large-format floors run unbroken from the entry through living, dining, and kitchen, and the bay opens straight ahead the moment the front door closes.
The main level reads as one open field, zoned by objects rather than walls. A quartzite-clad island with matte black cabinetry and a wall of warm wood millwork defines the kitchen. A faceted stone bar, framed by fluted panels and a lit wine display, gives the house a natural center for evening entertaining. Along the rear wall, full-height sliding panels retract to join the living spaces to the covered terrace.
The bay elevation reverses the language of the street. A deep, flat roof plane edged with slatted louvers extends over a stone-banded upper balcony, shading the bedrooms and casting striped light across the primary bath. Below, the site steps down toward the water in three tiers: a covered terrace; an infinity-edge pool, built-in spa, and cabana with outdoor kitchen and dining; and a lower level of lit, stepped lawn that leads to the private boat dock.
Upstairs, the primary suite looks directly across the bay, with oak floors, calm white walls, a stone trough vanity on walnut, and a freestanding tub set squarely toward the horizon. At every scale, 95 West keeps its materials few and its gestures precise, so the water, the light, and the skyline beyond remain the true subject of the house, morning to night.
