The Meadows

Single Family Residence - New Construction 

New Milford, CT

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 and surrounded by native meadows down to the tree line, the familiar 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 panels and providing views of the landscape through expansive glazed openings. The great room 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 site also features a detached garage, solar array, landscape sculptures and art, and a lap pool set into the landscape.
