The Meadows

The Meadows is a contemporary take on the historic vernacular architecture of Litchfield County. Sited on a sloping lot with sweeping views of the rolling hills surrounding it and surrounded by native meadows down to the treeline, the familiar vernacular forms of the house are punctuated by large window openings and sharp clean lines that bring a modern sensibility to a historic barn typography. The interiors feature a cathedral-ceiling great room clad in white oak veneer panels and providing stunning views, particularly from the cantilevered deck, and is contrasted by the quieter and tamer interiors of the primary suite and study. As the house careens out of the hill, the lower floor opens up to the land with large sheltered openings and provides a clean and calm counterpoint to the bustling natural landscape outside. The house is a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home comprising 4,000 sf of living space with a screen porch, cantilevered deck, integrated covered walkway from the walk-out basement, and a private balcony off the primary suite. The site also features a detached garage, solar array, landscape sculptures and art, and a lap pool.
