Clearview Crescent Residence is a contemporary retreat that seamlessly integrates with its riverside surroundings. Rooted in the neighborhood’s design principles, this single-story, barrier-free home balances modernity with nature through thoughtful form, materiality, and spatial flow.

Its L-shaped layout embraces a private courtyard, enhancing both privacy and the streetscape. A perpendicular garage minimizes its visual presence, allowing the home’s low, linear profile to blend into the landscape. Expansive glazing frames sweeping river views, while dark brick and reflective glass echo the natural surroundings.

A recessed entryway, sheltered by a cantilevered overhang, offers a modern take on the traditional front porch. Thoughtful roof extensions provide summer shading and winter warmth through passive solar design. Landscaping preserves mature trees and introduces native plantings, ensuring the home nestles effortlessly into its setting—an elegant yet understated presence within this evolving enclave.
