Architect Allard Jansen describes the home’s new floor plan as: “A central courtyard with two wings” Discussing the homes main features, he draws attention to the entrance of the home, the style of which is a specialty of the firm.. “One of the surprises we like to do is that you don’t step into the house when you come through the front door, instead you step into a courtyard,” he explains. This home invites the outdoors in and the central courtyard houses a gurgling fountain and outdoor furniture centered around a fireplace.

We maximized sleeping accommodations in the bunk room with two sets of custom twin over full bunk beds fabricated locally from FSC certified wood. Playful geometric wallpaper on the ceiling adds an unexpected twist.

This 835 square foot patio was installed by Cane Creek Concrete (canecreekconcrete.com), 828-230-3022. The project went smoothly; the crew was friendly and kept the area clean; and the end product is stunning. Chris Hoder, the owner, was on the job with the crew at all times - a real plus to keeping a project on schedule. I was very impressed with Chris' professionalism and depth of knowledge. He fully explained what was involved at each step. There were no "surprises" and the project came in on budget. I fully recommend Cane Creek Concrete for stamped concrete projects.

When big architecture comes to a small town, it’s bound to attract attention. This house, atop a hill in the northwest corner of Connecticut, is no exception. Some of the neighbors, bewildered by its flat, pale façade, have asked the owners, Norval and Camilla White, “When are the shutters arriving?” and “What color is going to be?” Others, entranced by its simplicity, have inquired, “What style is it?”
The answers, respectively, are, “There won’t be any shutters”; “We’ve already stained it white”; and “Distilled vernacular.” That’s the phrase coined by the couple to describe their seductively spare structure. “It’s a typical New England building, taken down one level of detail,” explains Norval, who is the co-author of the classic AIA Guide to New York City (and therefore eminently qualified to name the style). Camilla explains that when it came to details such as moldings and overhangs, they didn’t eliminate them — something a minimalist might do – but kept them small and simple.

Small-Space Tip #3: Hang Up Style -- “For any small space, a coatrack can be a versatile place to hang everyday items like a bag but also use to permanently store some coats,” Andrew explains. “I chose a clean, modern style in brass.”

Adjacent to the kitchen is a full-service butler’s pantry featuring rich charcoal gray Viatera Carbo quartz countertops and matching solid surface backsplash.
