The house is programmed with all primary spaces having western views looking over the open field. The first-floor program includes a mudroom, powder room, dining, kitchen, living, art studio, and screened porch. The second-floor plan contains the primary sleeping suite, two bedrooms, bathroom, laundry, and tv room. The basement functions as utility space for the mechanical and storage rooms.

The house design and construction encompass sustainable strategies. The envelope is insulated with closed-cell spray foam with R-38 walls and R-60 roofs. The mechanical system includes a high-efficiency natural gas boiler with variable air volume delivery. The fresh air exchanger includes a mechanical energy recovery ventilation system. Windows are Energy Star rated. All lighting is LED, and all switches are dimmable. The rainwater, both from the landscape and architecture, is collected on site and dispersed into a dry swale and bioretention area. The collection area temporarily stores and filters the water for erosion control.
