Inspired by the humble and simple beauty of Old World barns, the architecture seamlessly merges classical and contemporary elements. The single-story layout, stone walls, and shingled roof evoke the timeless appeal of weathered dry-stack masonry. Despite its rustic appearance, the design incorporates modern features such as solar energy and a gray-water system, showcasing a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation.
“The strength of the house is in the subtleties of light and space. We spent a lot of time assessing family patterns, how we really live, what makes us most comfortable. The focus was on the experience, the emotion.”
