round-top house

This three story house in the woods is a unique blend of spaciousness and efficiency in design. Outdoor storage and a covered entry, a foyer with a guest closet and built-in seating provide a transition from woods to house. The first floor has a large bedroom with a bathroom and separate tub room. The enclosed floor staircase leads to the open, airy dining, living and kitchen areas, with a series of floor-to-ceiling windows in the corner of the room. Ascend to the third floor on a covered, open-air staircase and reach the roof deck and screened porch, which provide an intimate feel with the canopy of trees that surround it.
