The design of Hidden Falls house is inspired by the waterfalls surrounding the property—the sound of the water drawing you in, leading you closer and closer. Created as an oasis, Hidden Falls fully embodies the elements of nature: fire, water, and earth.
Upon entering the front door, your eyes are drawn across the open living room and kitchen, divided by a striking fireplace. As you step further into the home, you feel the reverence of the space—the beauty of the windows that frame the walls and the chandelier, resembling drops of rain, cascading from the ceiling.
