Lafayette, CA (PRWEB) February 04, 2012
Award-winning Lafayette real estate agent Dana Green is excited to present Bella Vista Estate, a stunning Bob Swatt-designed estate featured in numerous home design publications. The secluded retreat is located in Happy Valley, one of Lafayette’s most exclusive neighborhoods, and has many attractions, including famous architectural elegance and panoramic views.
?Buyers will love Bella Vista?s spectacular features?from its high-end interior amenities to the incredible views of the valley and private vineyard?but I expect a big draw is going to be the fact that it?s a Swatt home,? says Dana Green.
Swatt, a resident of Lafayette, is an award-winning California Modern architect at Swatt-Miers Architects in Emeryville. In addition to multi-family residential projects, Swatt has designed over 100 single-family residential projects, including new homes and significant remodels?which he calls ?transformations.? Ten of these architectural gems are located in Lafayette, and include his own home and the Bella Vista Estate transformation.
?Every transformation project has its own goals. Sometimes the new design matches the old, becoming architecturally invisible. At other times, that transformation can be a dramatic contrast to the existing architecture,? said Swatt. ?Both attitudes can be successful, depending on the nature of the existing architecture.
?In this case, something very special happened. The architectural language (design) of the addition is very new and different from the original home?yet, while much of the existing home was not changed, the overall look and feel of the house is unified composition that seems very modern.?
The second floor addition, combined with subtle changes to the entry and extensions of the architecture into the garden (in the form of garden walls), transformed virtually everything that a visitor sees when entering the property.
?An architect once mentioned to me, after visiting the owners, that he was excited to see this new home that we had designed in the Lafayette hills,? said Swatt. ?I smiled, explaining that this in fact was an older home that we transformed.?
The grounds of this Zen-like retreat contain a pool, tennis court and 1000-vine Petite Syrah and Zinfandel vineyard known as Happy Valley Cellars. Clean, crisp minimalist details, high ceilings, natural light from well-positioned windows and skylights give the contemporary 5+ bedrooms and 4.5 bath home a light and peaceful atmosphere.

The U.S. Army has named two employees of The Michaels Organization as recipients of its ?Unsung Hero? awards presented to military housing professionals whose work makes a difference in the lives of soldiers and families residing on Army bases across the country.
The prestigious Unsung Hero Award recognizes service by individuals to military families that goes ?above and beyond? to provide excellent housing experiences for those living on Army posts that are managed by the Army?s private-sector partners.
The Army recognized Heather Plummer, senior vice president of Michaels Management Services, the community management arm of Michaels Military Housing for her unyielding commitment to the servicemen and women and their families who reside at bases currently managed by Michaels, including Ft. Huachuca and the Yuma Proving Grounds in Arizona, Ft. Leavenworth in Kansas, and Ft. Benning in Georgia.
In recommending Ms. Plummer for the award, Michaels Military Housing President Ron Hansen noted that ?No one in The Michaels Organization logs more miles; spends more time away from their family, or works harder to ensure that all of our military families have an extraordinary experience living in our communities than Heather Plummer.? One of the programs that Heather has implemented for Michaels? military families is the ?deployed spouses program,? which ensures that any family experiencing a deployment gets extra attention from the community management staff for help with things like putting up Christmas lights, doing yard work?basically anything that will make life easier for families with a deployed love one.
The Army also recognized Terry Beets, a Facility Maintenance Service Technician at Ft. Leavenworth?s Frontier Heritage Communities as an Army Unsung Hero.
According to Bryan Market, Ft. Leavenworth?s Project Director, ?Terry is a perfect example of what the military housing privatization program is all about,? noting that ?Terry?s selflessness, professionalism, and teamwork driven personality for getting the job done is infectious among the other service technicians, all of which leads to better service for our military families.?
This past winter during a blizzard, for example, Mr. Beets volunteered to stay the night at work in order to guarantee uninterrupted service to residents, should other technicians not be able to make it to work because of the severe weather. Service calls during the blizzard included a backed-up sewer, which Mr. Beets was able to address much to the surprise and delight of the resident.
The Army presented its Unsung Hero Awards in conjunction with the Professional Housing Management Association’s annual conference and training event, which was held this year in San Diego.
