WE DESIGNED THIS NINE-BEDROOM HOME for a very large, active family. As we went through the design process and collaborated with the homeowner, our design leaned increasingly contemporary. The pivoting front door, glass staircase, and steep roof pitch are modern, but look at-home in a traditional neighborhood thanks to shingled exteriors.

There is a barn on the property, which we designed for sports and outdoor activities. It includes a locker room and guest suite, and is built to accommodate an ice rink if the homeowner chooses to add one in the future.
