Nestled in a wooded alcove beside a pond in Indian Hill, this modern English Arts and Crafts style home was designed with simple, clean lines and a limited palette of materials to highlight special elements. The exterior materials include white stucco, stone trim, black narrow framed windows, and a synthetic slate roof. The house orchestrates the integration of the Kitchen and Living spaces to create a seamless flow that equally supports calm, relaxed spaces for cooking and reading. The main rooms also provide a comfortable, yet elegant, tableau for entertaining small gatherings of friends and family, dining, relaxing, and enjoying each other’s company. A connection with the covered outdoor living space is achieved through the use of a large arched window and door openings in the Kitchen. The outdoor living space features a fireplace and provides a visual connection to the adjacent pond. A barrel-vaulted Great Room with a fireplace and upper-story dormer windows provide ample daylighting along with a grand volume for entertaining guests. The attached, three-car Garage extends perpendicular from the main house with a large square auto court in front, providing access to the covered front entry. Additional elements integrate into the structure such as the hidden basement stair door in the arched passage from the front hall to Great Room.
