Mound Creek

Nestled on a 6 acre sliver of land near the Blue Water Lakes in Nebraska, the home tucks itself in amongst the abundant foliage striking a balance of privacy and views. The home’s two wings allow the spaces to be organized by levels of privacy. The western wing is perpendicular to the street, where it greets the occupants as they proceed over a gated bridge before entering the private court. This wing terminates to the south with an outdoor kitchen and covered deck. The most private wing on the eastern edge of the property runs parallel to the site and houses the sleeping quarters.

A stair tower with floor to ceiling windows terminates the entry axis after running through the main spaces. The thoughtfully skewed wings create two courtyards on either side of the living room. The courtyard to the north is private and serene, making it a wonderful complement to an adjacent private gym. The courtyard to the south of the living room opens up to the land, housing a pool with a uniquely shaped cylindrical grotto complete with a slide. Mound Creek combines amenities with privacy for a delightful retreat just outside of city limits.
