Inspired by the simplicity of New England colonials, this house is a collaborative creative endeavor envisioned by the owner as a home for her family. As an artist, she applied her finely-tuned sensibilities for an aesthetic that embodied a delicate balance between order and casualness. Finish selections were pared down to a precisely palette, construction details were developed to present an honesty of materials and craft, and systems were selected for sustainability and health. This house achieved LEED Platinum certification.
