Screen Play
Every hike has its reward. But on this Nashville property, instead of a waterfall or valley vistas, you’ll find a stunning wood-and-glass modernist dream by architect Michael Goorevich at the end of your ascent.
The Wood Screen House is a project that lives in the beautiful dichotomy between opacity and transparency. Kebony slats line both the interior and exterior, bringing a wooden warmth to the home inside and out. Natural light and striking views are welcomed through Kolbe VistaLuxe WD LINE windows, which the design team selected for their construction quality,thin wood profiles, and extruded aluminum exteriors. The low-profile stiles and rails also maximize the amount of glass shown. "The stark contrast of the Kolbe windows againstthe Kebony slats creates a sense of elegance that you don’t often see," explains generalcontractor Shawn Keen.
At the center of this bright, beautiful homeis a roomy kitchen, designed with entertaining in mind. Dual islands welcome helping hands for dinner parties and family meals alike. Additional rooms are located on the lower level, while the kitchen, living room, and primary bedroom are one story up.
The entryway leads to the main staircase, which adds one more playful ascent and cuts through the center of the home to fill it with light, top to bottom. "The stairs are really funto climb," notes Goorevich.
