Armada House ^Featured

 Built by Abstract Developments, Inc (www.abstractdevelopments.com) Armada is more then just a home, its a sculpted piece of art.  I came across this Canadian treasure by shear accident and absorbed the images for so long that I had forgotten what I was looking for in the first place.  

Obviously this contemporary home blends steel, concrete, glass and wood beautifully and elegantly.  The use of cherry and bamboo adds incredible accents to the home.  

What is difficult to see is a five-foot vertical grain Douglas fir pivoting front door that  that welcomes guests into a 24 foot high foyer.  

There is nothing typical about this house.  Each bedroom door has, what appears to be, frosted glass which allows the continuation of cascading light from the homes enormous windows.
