This home is located in a new residential development adjacent to a large metropark. Care was taken to preserve the natural environment and setting around the house. A gravel vehicular entry court at the front provides the main entrance for family and visitors, while the rear of the house is surrounded by a wooded flood plain bordering the edge of the park. Natural materials are used throughout the interior. Cedar shingles, limestone and cedar trim are utilized as basic primary materials for the exterior to fit into the wooded setting.
