have a main floor that’s equal parts elegance and efficiency. “A garden door in the primary bedroom connects to the backyard deck, which can also be accessed from the dining area,” she adds. “You can get up in the morning and walk outside to enjoy the country view and a cup of coffee.” The same could be said for the lower level, which has a wood structural floor, a home gym, two bedrooms, a full bath — and a rec room divided into separate media and games areas by an ultra-func- tional dividing wall. “To us, the functional aspect of a home’s design always takes top priority. We then build the style into the design once functionality is assured.” Rest assured, when Huntington delivers a home, it’s a timeless, fully customized design that delivers individualized style, function and livability from the ground up. “Every home we design is thought out right down to the smallest detail, and this home shows that.

We also have an awesome design team that does an amazing job of interpreting what clients say and tailoring design features directly to their wants and needs. It’s a very collab- orative process,” Swan says. “It ensures we get all the little details just right.” The commitment to getting all the little details right is on display at Huntington’s show home at 32 Ash Cove in Headingley’s Forest Grove Estates. A magnificent pillared, covered entrance leads into a generous foyer with a stun- ning raised ceiling. Meanwhile, the main living area — set beneath an 11-foot-high ceiling — is a functional work of art. Fronted by a four-sided fireplace clad elegantly with Tyndall stone, it deftly defines the main
