Property of Mr. & Mrs. Jenns Risom, Stamford, Conn. | Architects: Sherwood, Mills and Smith
This well-designed suburban house turns an inviting face to the road but is planned so that all main rooms open to the rear for privacy. Across the front of the house there are no living rooms, only one small bedroom and two bathrooms. The upfront garage forms an L with the house, makes a more interesting facade than a rectangle, and the short driveway cuts paving and maintenance costs. The front door is sheltered by roof overhang. Across the rear. floor-to-ceiling window walls face lawn and garden. Tall trees shade the house, landscaping frames it.
