Archer & Buchanan designed the new home to both meet the family’s need for informal
gatherings and their aspirations for a more historically sensitive home. To that end, they created a simple cottage made of timeless materials; stone walls with brick cornices. By breaking the mass down into farmhouse ‘telescoping’ sections and keeping the eaves low, the total square footage appears to be much less than its actual 7,500 square feet. The very simple, open floor pattern gives family and friends places to come together and yet makes a cozy home for two.
