Twenty-four acres of farmland are the site for a new home and a pottery studio/guesthouse. The clients' dreams included a large protecting roof, a welcoming front porch, and a fully accessible ground floor. We were challenged to site and design the structures to fit their wishes while preserving the character of the landscape.

We anchored the house in the site by placing it next to a cluster of shading trees. Our choice of materials, brick walls and metal roof, give it a sense of timelessness and belonging consistent with its country setting. Interior activities extend to carefully designed outdoor places through porches and decks. Inside, the feeling of spaciousness is successfully complemented with intimate areas.
