mountain hideaway The clients chose a site offering both benefits and challenges sitting atop a ridge overlooking a spectacular wooded valley. This provides wonderful views, but also exposed the site to extremely strong winds. The architects resolved this by using the home to divide the site, with an outdoor space fronting the view and a protected courtyard at the site's interior. The great room separating the two can be opened to both spaces or closed off during inclement weather. The design provides maximum privacy for the owners, yet still accommodates a wide variety of guests with separate wings that can be closed off when not fully occupied. The open plan entertaining space [great room, hall, and both courtyards] are clearly visible in the plan.__________ __________completed at ben trogdon architects _______interior design by cynthia mennella designs |
