Our House in the Woods in Northwestern Connecticut sits amongst farmland and is a humble ode to simple living. Surrounded by deep forest, this project combines three modest rectangular forms to divide its private and public spaces. The familiar shape lends itself to the vernacular architecture of the farming region – simple, elegant, gabled structures designed for purpose – while naturally beautiful.

Swaths of high-performance triple-pane glass provide a lateral transparency through the home, complimenting the natural wood cladding on the exterior. Precisely placed doors and windows provide opportunities for unparalleled connection to the outdoors, or a chance to be embraced by the cozy interior.  Cathedral ceilings add a loftiness to this 4,000 sf home. Net Zero in mind means that this house will have unbeatable indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency all on top of its incredible views.
