Every season of the year brings Mr. and Mrs. Arthur W. Lamm a new lease on life-in-the-country, now that they have a small house on their 5-acre site at Croton-on-Hudson. Since the house is high on the slope of a hill, there is a clear view of the river down below and the surrounding woods. The Lamms wanted to feel as if they could reach out and touch the woods from any part of their house, so architects Sanders, Malsin, Reiman, gave them wide-angled windows, continued interior walls beyond the rooms to shield the windows from the sun, painted these extending walls white inside and out-all of which gives the house a sense of unlimited space. The interiors are designed for minimum upkeep. In summer, the Lamms entertain informally on the flagstone terrace. A screened porch gives them a third "dining room." There are two separate guest cottages and a garage.
