A 1960s ranch house was extensively remodeled to create a series of Zen-like indoor-outdoor spaces. The result exudes such tranquility that one juror claimed to experience lower blood pressure just looking at it. Given the relatively dense suburban context, the architect carefully arranged the rooms, passages and windows to provide views of nature while screening the surrounding houses. Every turn reveals courtyards of light and vistas to the landscape. There are no dead-ends; all corners open up to the outdoors. Understated materials, muted colors and subtle natural light enhance the owners’ collection of fine art.
