The owners wanted have a high exposure to the views to the Northeast, which is also the direction strong storms come from. And the owners wanted an open, spacious interior inside a traditional, small-scale exterior. Additionally, The building forms mirror the form of an old family horse stable adjacent to the property.
The entry is through an enclosed courtyard. The courtyard provides a calm retreat from the often harsh winds in the area. It also buffers the home from the street, allowing for lots of glazing facing south without sacrificing privacy.
