Gables and rounded windows add elements of whimsy.
The house itself has 3,260 square feet of living space, plus more when the outdoor spaces are accounted for. A screened-in porch, a wrap-around deck, and a small rooftop balcony blend the inside and outside. Fireplaces and heaters make the outdoor spaces comfortable three seasons out of the year. Along with the yoga studio over the garage, the home is a little over 5,000 square feet. On the energy conservation front, there is much interest in the phenomena of “tiny homes” and “eco-restorative” homes. Many are less than 500 square feet. The fact that this much larger residence is almost net zero in its energy consumption, yet designed in a traditional style, is a testimony to the unity of architecture, design, sustainable building, and future possibilities.
