Hillside Farmhouse

Lantern House is a modern interpretation of the New England vernacular: taut, simple forms with pitched metal roofs and white-painted wood siding. The glassy, lantern-like entry, with its prow-shaped canopy, signals the open, expansive space within.

This gambrel-roofed house is a good neighbor to its old summer community. It is respectful yet light-hearted, playing off symmetry and asymmetry.

The existing sheds act as a gate lodge for the house. A covered arcade, in a similar vernacular to the sheds, leads through a courtyard to the new house.
