Watson Grande Preserve II By 1720 Designs

Designed for the View

Set within Watson Grande Preserve at McMullen Cove, this custom residence was designed to take full advantage of one of Huntsville’s most distinctive mountainside settings.

With expansive homesites, natural privacy, and sweeping valley views, the property called for a home that responded directly to its surroundings. Rather than simply placing a house on the site, the design was developed around the relationship between the architecture, the terrain, and the views.

Large areas of glass bring natural light into the home while creating strong visual connections to the landscape. Multiple outdoor living spaces, including an elevated rear porch, provide opportunities to enjoy the property from different levels of the home.

Inside, a dramatic two-story space features soaring windows and an open staircase, creating a central architectural feature while continuing the connection between the interior and the surrounding scenery.

The exterior combines strong traditional forms with clean detailing, contrasting materials, and carefully proportioned windows to create a distinctive custom residence appropriate for its mountain setting.
