A little/big house with a lot of panache. The program called for a modestly scaled, light filled modern farmhouse on a wooded acre of land. The priorities were to create an open feeling comfortable house for an active couple that lives big, with all rooms on a single level. The layout features a large great room and a master bedroom wing off to one side. It has the scale and look of a simple grouping of wooden farm buildings with ample room on the site plan for gardening,an extra car or boat in the detached garage. The garage/shop building is placed near the house to enclose a sunny courtyard.
