Trillium Springs Farmhouse

Description

The site is several hundred acres of fields that are farmed by the owner. An artificial pond provides the foreground to the south-facing home with heavy woods surrounding the fields.

The building complex is composed of the two-story, three-bedroom main house; a guesthouse with sleeping loft connected with a screen porch; and the garage and farm office connected with a porte cochere/trellis. The L-shaped house is protected by sunscreens to the view side with decks and roof terraces which extend the space outdoors. Diagonal views through the first floor expand the visual space. The stone kitchen fire stove and wooden stair anchor the composition.

A screen porch with screen roof provides an outdoor room between guest quarters and entry. All exterior walls and trellises are natural-finish clear cedar siding and trim. Chimney, gutters, and downspouts are lead-coated copper. Black metal is used for window frames, railings, and struts. Interior finishes are laminated pine beams and decking, pine window trim and doors, maple cabinets and furnishings, and mahogany floors.
