Designed for a growing family, this house features a home office, guest suite, and space for entertaining. The site is a densely forested piece of land near the center of Guilford. By locating the house relatively close to the street, the bulk of the forest and seasonal wetlands are protected. A cleared side yard, a requirement for the septic system, creates ideal locations for gardens and brings sunlight deep into the house. The most public spaces are on the south, while bedrooms and the home office are on the more private north side. Because the house sits atop ledge on a steeply-sloping site, views from the top floor of the house are positively treehouse-like.
