Stuart Disston & Joshua Rosensweig — Architect
“The impact of light is criticalto every project. Always try toallow as much light into roomsas possible.”
“The house is a play on a traditional New Englandcolonial in a modern vocabulary,” said Rosensweig.
Upon entering the house, you can see straight throughthe hall, dining room, and living room with the fireplaceterminating the line of sight. The stairs are centrallylocated, allowing visual transparency to span verticallybetween three levels. The staircase landing overlooksthe two-story breakfast room that has a floor-to-ceilingwindow with garden views.
One of the home’s most striking qualities is how sunnyand bright it is, as every room has multiple exposuresto the outside. The breakfast room in particular is filledwith morning sunlight, creating a warm and invitingatmosphere. Elsewhere, large glass openings providesweeping views of the garden and grounds, lendingadded saturation to the bright spaces. A roof deck isbordered by a sedum roof, continuing the relationshipbetween the architecture and the landscape.
Disston, Rosensweig, and their team at APDArchitecture & Design found the collaborative processboth incredibly interesting and rewarding. The chargeof synthesizing the varied design inspirations and thefamily’s programmatic needs into an organic, cohesivewhole has made this one of the firm’s most uniqueprojects to date. The resulting home and groundsprovide a curated, comfortable place for the householdand guests to relax, unwind, and gain inspiration fortheir various creative endeavors.
