The Gothic Revival Farmhouse look grew organically as the program for the house progressed. The style is attractive and charming, and is made of simple forms that are easy to build. Views determined the positioning and adjacency of the major spaces in the house during the predesign stage, even before the design work began.

Strategically placed windows capture dramatic vistas while the placement of the house blocks less desirable views. Almost every room in the open interior does "double duty" for the family, keeping costs down and creating an open, comfortable flow.
