Wrapped around a private courtyard at the back, this home naturally extends the living and entertaining spaces from indoors to out.

This home was designed to frame outdoor living as the heart of the experience. The club room, main living space, and covered porch wrap the pool to create a courtyard-style layout that connects every key space to the backyard, offering openness, privacy, and flexibility all at once.

Everyday Function, Layered In

Behind the clean layout is a carefully sequenced plan: scullery, pantry, and drop zone are all placed to support daily life without interrupting the flow. A private study off the primary suite adds quiet space while keeping circulation smooth and compact.

A Sense of Place

Vaulted ceilings in the club room and primary suite bring scale where it matters most, while the rest of the home maintains consistent, buildable ceiling heights. Outside, a mature magnolia tree was preserved at the front of the lot, a defining feature that inspired the project’s name and reinforces its sense of place.
