D. Michael Collins Architects’<br />
fresh-faced farmhouse predated<br />
the modern farmhouse trend. Its<br />
gables, shed dormers, and low<br />
and high roofs give the illusion<br />
that the residence was “built<br />
over time,” says principal Michael<br />
Collins. Exterior materials—board<br />
and batten, an elevated stone<br />
base, cedar clapboard, zinc<br />
coated copper roofing, etc.—were<br />
selected to accentuate changes in<br />
mass. Photo by Eric Roth.<br />
Shope Reno Wharton has an<br />
affinity for stair halls situated<br />
beyond the main body of the<br />
home. The feature is interesting<br />
from the outside and arresting<br />
from within. On the exterior, it<br />
allows the architect to play the<br />
vertical form off horizontal eave<br />
lines; inside, it ushers in natural<br />
light and “creates moments<br />
of pause,” says AIA principal<br />
Arthur Hanlon, allowing<br />
homeowners to take it all in.<br />
