In 2011, clients Brent Habig and Ana Ecclesthe surveyed the property with architect Jim Cutler, planting stakes at a number of sites. Cutler drew up a different house for each, recalling from his youth the region’s vernacular—especially the crisp white barns nestled into lush green landscapes.

It is designed to capture natural light, but also to cool interiors on hot summer days, using tall, sliding shutters that can cover the two-story home’s windows from floor to ceiling.

The two-story shutters, designed by architect Jim Cutler and built by Breig Brothers Inc., glide with the touch of a finger, thanks to a system that uses high-quality stainless steel roller-bearing wheels.
