House in the Hills

This stunning 1970s-era home was initially designed by renowned architect Hugh Newell Jacobson and built on a private wooded hilltop just west of Boston. The home is a collection of 3 distinct buildings joined by glass connectors. While the front façade is dotted with tiny windows, the back of the house is graced with expansive amounts of glass that blur the lines between indoors and out.

The owners were looking to convert a segment of their home, previously seldom used, into a ground-level primary suite with office space above. This required expanding the footprint, and as worthy stewards of this notable example of HNJ’s work, it was a must that the addition blends seamlessly with the original structure. Concord-based Architect Jen Hart met those goals and exceeded their expectations with a thoughtful design and details that elevated the home to another level.
