Warren House
Warren, Connecticut, 2000
A new 3,000 sf house serves as a weekend retreat in Litchfield County, Connecticut. The house is sited in conjunction with a garage and pool house to form a loose "courtyard" which captures a piece of the landscape. Newly crafted stone walls further define the "courtyard" and pool area.

Numerous windows provide an abundance of natural light and expansive views of the Connecticut countryside. A large screened porch serves to separate the main house from the guest bedrooms. The house and the outbuildings share a simple language of materials: galvanized metal roofing, stained cedar shingles and vertical siding, and stuccoed chimneys. The stark forms and long unbroken surfaces of the house refer to a functional vernacular as well as modern compositional strategies.
