The living room leads to a terrace with a grill that allows the clients to cook and entertain outside while enjoying the picturesque site.

Inspired by hilltop views and traditional New England farm and barn structures, Marvin Architect's Challenge-winner Michael Waters of LDa Architecture & Interiors set out to strike the perfect balance between time-tested tradition and sophisticated, clean lines.
