Quail Run House is a striking embodiment of modern architecture, where a crisp white frame meets bold black elements. The entrance is anchored by oversized stone marble slabs, which create a dramatic focal point, while black metal slats cast intricate shadows, enhancing the textural interplay of the facade.
