Compact and with its areas carefully related, this small country house is a good example of design specifically intended for the needs of a retired couple. The combination entry hall-dining area makes it possible to have a choice of formal or informal living with a minimum of housekeeping and wasted space. The house reflects its rural setting in simplicity of line and materials. It is open to a view, yet it achieves the effect of enclosure desirable in an isolated home. It is oriented to balance sun and shade.
