Ward, principal in the highly acclaimed architecture firm Vosbeck-Ward. The Living Room was added as a seamless expansion in 1987 by Joan Fabry of Fabry Associates Architects. Situated atop a hill to take full advantage of sunsets and tree-lines, the residence also features tall ceilings , exceptional indoor/outdoor flow, and naturally sunlit interiors."
