Located on the highest portion of a 20-acre family parcel this residence and guest cottage provide views to a pond below and the hills beyond. The building plan and detailing reflect the client's ongoing interest in their Scandinavian heritage. Like a Swedish farmhouse, the functions of this residence are divided into five buildings, which group around an entry court. These buildings are connected visually by a large trellis and the courtyard's landscaped edge. Careful attention was given to the detailing of natural and painted wood used throughout the house. As with traditional Swedish interiors, rich colors were used for the walls and cabinet surfaces. Bruce Forster Photography
