Gothic Cottage - Award Winner
This new home is the award winner in for the 2018 Best Bathroom and 2017 "Best Whole-Home Architecture" - Readers Choice, both from Westchester Home Magazine.
The surrounding landscape was the inspiration for the design of this home. The plan was determined by a diagrammatic location of spaces to maximize views, natural light, and use. The front elevation makes use of many traditional cottage elements, combining steep rooflines with graceful curves. Clover windows and natural stone give a timeless feeling to the front. The metal roof reflects the sky, and softens the presence of the house. The left side of the house looks out onto a meadow and behind the house, there is a pond. The left side of the house begins to allow for more views of the landscape with full window walls, while still making use of the traditional style elements such as window muntins and a custom paneling design. The rear of the house is almost entirely glass, allowing a full view of the pond, but without compromising the traditional feel of the architecture.
