On The Boards, A Mountain Cottage

From time to time I get, as I like to put it, a house "stuck in my head". They usually start with one idea (an interesting staircase, a remarkable kitchen) and grow from there. Such is the case with the one I'm working on now. No client, no lot, just ideas. Two central ideas brought this house to life: an exterior of seemingly simple details, and a great room with a wonderful play of scales (the floor plans aren't done yet--stay tuned!)
