Architect Will Winkelman and landscape architect Todd Richardson collaborated with client JT Bullitt to design a house that blends into its surroundings in Steuben, Maine. The green roof gives the impression that "the ground just jumped onto the roof," Richardson says.

Large windows connect the interior to the exterior elements and blend inside to outside.
The exterior terrace is complete with an integral fireplace.
