The primary design challenge was to accommodate the client’s extensive program without creating a house which overwhelmed the existing antique farm buildings. To alleviate the impact of the 12,000 square foot house, the mass was articulated as series of smaller structures, giving the appearance of a house which may have evolved over time. The materials of the house also varied from section to section, to further the illusion of house which had grown for several generations. The center section was conceived of as a classic stone farmhouse, inspired by nearby antique homes. The wings on either side were intentionally less formal, creating a rambling form which responded to the rolling hilltop site.
