What is decadent design? To some,
it's clean, angular lines, steel and glass
construction, and austere furnishings;
to others, it's warm wood, so colors,
and a sturdy, rough-hewn finish. e
best designs provide comfort, livability,
and a meaningful sense of place while
incorporating modern materials,
technology, and energy efficiency.
We, at Signature MT magazine,
typically feature the latest in upscale,
unmistakably beautiful, designs, but in
this issue, we look at less obvious, more
weighty, design considerations that
some owners value in a home. Great
design, aer all, is about both form
and function.
A steel hatch entryway sits atop the frame so that
it will open even if the ground shifts. Flexible,
corrugated culvert pipes (opposite page) will
withstand shock underground.
