Expansive Meets Cozy in
Shingle-Style Home

 

"What I'm trying to do is create a sort of romantic feeling, of being tucked in under the eaves, and roofs that are tucked under roofs," says architect Thomas Carey.

The house borrows its shingled walls, multi-peaked dormers, and dynamic asymmetry from shingle-style architecture, while its low-slung roofline is reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts tradition. The roofline wraps down over spaces and anchors the house at both ends. This gives it a much more sculptural feel as opposed to a boxy house with a roof that sits on top, says Carey.
