New England Home, Hillside Haven Farm Villa

This house aims to capture the modest spirit of a New England farm while offering a bit more elegance inside. The classical entry portico is a discreet clue to what lies within.

Lake Library is a compact out-building serving as a guesthouse, library, tennis viewing pavilion, and boathouse, with the flavor of a miniature castle.

The house responds to the Greek Revival traditions of the neighborhood on the exterior with a wholly unexpected interior.  The house is organized around two courts:  first, an arrival court on the public side, and second, a garden court on the quiet private side.

Down a sweep of lawn and pasture, this big house looks like a collection of small houses. Greek Revival-inspired pavilions are connected by a Shingle Style link, uniting various regional traditions. The elliptical ceiling of the kitchen eating area looks like a shallow, tented canopy.
