Property of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Scott, Greenwich, Connecticut | architect: Dewey Swan

While most larger houses are being built today to accommodate families outgrowing undersized homes. this house has a different reason for being. Simply to give the couple who own it the things they wanted, it had to be big. The owners wanted a house with a separate living room and a formal dining room which would do no double duty whatsoever. They also wanted a front hall, a kitchen. a laundry, a pantry, and a breakfast room with their separate identities respected. The house is traditional in guise, designed with details inspired by American Colonial style. The luxury of many separate rooms gives it individuality and variety, lessens clutter and lets household wheels turn more smoothly than they do in some more openly designed houses. Yet. as in houses of contemporary design, most main rooms open to outdoor areas, a beautifully landscaped rear terrace among them.
