or this new build, James Schettino Architects devised a design concept that included a timeless exterior that fit within the context of the neighborhood, a more modern, open interior with formal and informal zones, and a combination of open and covered outdoor living spaces. To make the large home appear less massive, a variety of roof lines and materials such as stone, slate and clapboard siding were used to break down the mass of the house and soften its overall feel, and the windows in the rear of the house were painted black to simulate metal. The classic front-to-back center hall takes on an updated vibe, as it leads to a south-facing rear gallery that flows into all of the rooms and floods natural light into the entire house. The blend of traditional and more modern design elements achieves the perfect balance. —JJ
