Winged Bourne is a bold modern estate that marries dramatic architectural gestures — cascading crystal chandeliers, a sculptural spiral staircase, and soaring double-height volumes — with a refined material palette of dark hardwoods, polished stone, and blackened metal. The residence is designed for entertainment at scale, with a resort-level rear elevation featuring pool, sport court, and arched loggias illuminated at twilight.

ARCHITECTURAL VISION

Design Intent & Siting

The design vision for Winged Bourne was rooted in creating a home of cinematic presence — one that commands attention through proportion, material contrast, and carefully orchestrated light. Every major room is anchored by a signature element: a cascading crystal chandelier in the foyer, a sculptural spiral staircase in the living hall, a ring chandelier over coffered ceilings in the great room.

The exterior massing draws from French château forms reinterpreted through a modern lens — steep rooflines, turret-inspired volumes, and symmetrical arched openings at the lower level create a rear elevation that reads as both historic and unmistakably contemporary.

DESIGN FEATURES

Interior Architecture & Living Spaces

A double-height foyer introduces the home with a rain-drop crystal chandelier descending through a coffered ceiling, flanked by a floating open staircase with horizontal metal railings that set the modern tone.

The kitchen features a generous marble-topped island with contrasting navy cabinetry, bay windows flooding the breakfast area with natural light, and professional-grade appliances integrated within a clean white palette.

A fully appointed dark bar and entertainment level — finished in blackened cabinetry, reflective tile, and polished granite flooring — provides a dramatic counterpoint to the light-filled main living areas above.

INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE

The interior architecture of Winged Bourne is defined by its commitment to drama and contrast — soaring double-height spaces punctuated by sculptural fixtures, dark floors against luminous white volumes, and a spiral staircase that serves as the home's vertical spine. The result is a residence that feels both gallery-like and deeply livable.

CRAFTSMANSHIP & MATERIALS

Material Integrity & Artisan Craft

Material selections emphasize contrast and drama: dark-stained wide-plank hardwoods anchor every room, while white coffered and tray ceilings create vertical depth and luminosity.

The primary bath is a study in high-contrast luxury — arched alcoves frame a freestanding sculptural tub, flanked by floor-to-ceiling dark polished stone vanities and a glass-enclosed rain shower.

The spiral staircase is an engineering and design centerpiece, with a polished metal balustrade and ebonized treads that connect the main and upper levels with sculptural elegance.

Outdoor Living & Landscape

The outdoor program is anchored by a dramatic rear elevation featuring arched loggias at the lower level, multiple balcony terraces, a free-form pool with spa, and a regulation half-court — all set against a wooded backdrop that provides privacy and a sense of seclusion.

THE RESIDENCE TODAY

A Living Legacy

Winged Bourne stands as one of the most architecturally ambitious estates in the Peters Custom Homes portfolio, defined by its fearless use of scale, material, and light.

The rear elevation — with its illuminated arched colonnades, resort pool, and full sport court — transforms the property into a private compound designed for both grand entertaining and daily family life.

The home continues to mature gracefully, its bold design choices proving timeless rather than trend-driven.
