Combining the classical with the contemporary, Casa Eterea embodies the essence of timeless elegance. We used materiality, colour and detailing to create a seamless transition and sensory connection through the house, paying homage to its heritage and bringing it into the present with enduring elegance, functionality and beauty. Upon entry, the high ceilings, arched thresholds and heritage mouldings of the hallway evoke a sense of splendour. The front bedrooms and study are comfortable and contemporary, and the bathrooms have been optimised for functionality. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen is a light-filled and airy room with a large expanse of glass doors and windows connecting it to the garden, swimming pool and entertaining area. The refined material and colour palette highlights the timeless elegance of the ethereal interior. Light and neutral hues, natural materials and textured finishes enhance the purity of the architecture, while black steel framing adds contrasting modern accents. Polished and practical, Casa Eterea transcends time for generations.

I recently treated myself to a book I have coveted for a long time, American Splendor; The Residential Architecture of Horace Trumbauer by Michael Kathrens. It does not disappoint. A catalog of Trumbauer's best work, each chapter is devoted to a different project and even floorplans for each are included!. If you're not familiar with Trumbauer you may be familiar with some of his work. A self-educated man, he rose to become one of the most sought after residential architects of the early 20th century. His last completed project, Rose Terrace, is the subject of this brief post. Started in 1930 the house wasn't finished until 1934 for Anna Dodge Dillman in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan. While noted as a difficult woman she had amazing taste and hired (or married) the best tastemakers of her day; Trumbauer, Lord Duveen, and Alavoine & Cie, amongst others. Anna lived at Rose Terrace until her death in 1970, spending summers at her Mizner designed estate in Palm Beach, Playa Riente (not a bad life, no?). The house was immense as you can see from the floorplans above. While Trumbauer was known mainly for large houses, this was his last and certainly his finest. Many refer to the house as the best example of French neoclassical style ever built in this country: a slight on Miramar, the Trumbauer house on which Rose Terrace was based. Anna lived at Rose Terrace in isolated splendor especially as she descended into her twilight years; money provides an excellent buffer and she lived in a Belle Epoque splendor as the fortunes of Detroit crumbled. Sadly the house didn't fair as well as Anna. After her death the house was unable to be sold, mainly due to the 70s recession. After a few years of neglect the contents were dispersed (mostly auctioned off although the music room resides in the Detroit Art Museum) and the house torn down. The gates now enclose a bland subdivision. Was Rose Terrace one of the last great estates to be seen in this country? If so its ending is rather poetic as it lasted as long as Anna.
