Following the brief the driveway was relocated to the southern boundary of the web site to allow this and open up the lawns and the gardens towards the sun and mountain views. There are panoramic vistas towards the south and west from the bedrooms and living rooms while the pool and terraces are situated on the north-east side, in a courtyard protected from the Southeaster gales by the intersecting linear forms of the property.”</em></p><br/><img alt="small pond interior at montrose house by saota Montrose Home By SAOTA architecture " height="700" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/small-pond-interior-at-montrose-house-by-saota.jpg" title="Small Pond Interior at Montrose House by SAOTA" width="500" /><br/><p><em>Images © Wieland Gleich</em></p><br/><p>Pay a visit to <strong>SAOTA</strong> web site for particulars</p><br/><p> <span><br/><img alt="pixel Montrose Home By SAOTA architecture " src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/pixel________.png" title="Montrose Home By SAOTA architecture " /></span><br/><p><small>This entry was posted on Thursday, December 12th, 2013 at 4:36 am and is filed below Architecture.
