Top: The home faces south to<br />

capture the view and soak up<br />

the passive energy of the sun.<br />

A contemporary pergola was<br />

engineered in steel and wrapped<br />

in wood. The thick glass doors<br />

are substantial and required<br />

great skill in handling and<br />

installation.<br />

Middle: The minimalist interiors<br />

also require dexterity. “When you<br />

have dissimilar materials that<br />

are touching or almost touching<br />

each other on a plane, that has<br />

to be absolutely perfect,” says<br />

Andrew.<br />

Bottom: The home’s expansive<br />

green roof, which features<br />

Photovoltaic panels, as well as<br />

the farm’s windmill, supports<br />

the homeowners’ culture of<br />

sustainability. It also “takes the<br />

edge off the contemporary<br />

design,” says Andrew; “it’s<br />

soothing.” The flat roof is a<br />

complicated venture; a water<br />

consultant was brought in to<br />

ensure it drains properly during<br />

extreme weather conditions.<br />
