This home was designed for recent retirees who relocated from Tennessee to be closer to their children in the Madison area. The site is a former farmstead in the Town of Primrose. The original home and barn had been torn down when my clients bought the property, but some stone retaining walls and a silo remain as evidence of the site's former life.

The new home is designed with vaulted ceilings in most of the rooms; large window and door groupings on the south and west overlook views of the fields and neighboring wetland. The sitting area, dining area and kitchen are combined in one large space with an asymmetrical vaulted ceiling. The sitting area is at the south end of the home, with the best views. The dining area is adjacent to a screen porch which can also be accessed from the primary bedroom.
