Home in a Meadow
Architect Sarah Susanka has featured this landscape in her new landscape design book, ‘Outside the Not So Big House', a sequel to her popular book series and co-authored by Julie Moir Messervy, nationally-known landscape designer and writer.

"The use of local materials relates this house wonderfully to its surrounds. The front walk interweaves several kinds of stones to help signal which way to go: Take the straight, cut-stone walkway to get to the front door, or follow the irregular stepping-stone path to stroll around the garden."

Family Retreat in the Mountains
The architecture and landscape of this place is a duet of refuge and prospect. The approach to the house follows the old farm road, sweeping in and out of sunny meadows and intimate white pine forests. Inside the mood of each room is reflected by the extending outdoor space – the earth-toned kitchen looks out to the shady woodland garden; the bright, cheerful living room spills out to the spacious terraces surrounded by colorful wildflower gardens and dramatic mountain views.
