Modern Architecture + Design Society's 2023 Modern Home Tour showcases the work of Luisa...

The Rays describe their prior homes as nondescript, typical traditional homes. Their new, 5,000-square-foot home, which they moved into in the fall of 2021, is one they call"warm modern." Its monochromatic exterior includes black, wide-plank siding and black-gray brick in an elongated midcentury profile. Engineered bamboo planks add warmth on soffits and other exterior accents.

One key thing Andrew wanted was a mancave, where he could have a home office and music room in one. In this home, it has theater seating, so it also functions as their media room and can be immediately out of sight by closing a big sliding door of white oak. Andrew, 52, and a lawyer in the energy industry, has played in a variety of bands and has several guitars out, ready to be played.

Sandy's father is an architect and her parents always had modern furniture in their home. The Rays have a pair of iconic, black leather Barcelona chairs alongside a large sofa in the living room. There's also a pair of another iconic midcentury chairs, the Wassily chair, split between the living room and primary bedroom.

She incorporated plenty of storage space into her home and designed a ground floor shed around a tall shade tree so she wouldn't have to cut it down. That tree also extends through an opening in a small, front balcony.
