Interior spaces are designed to feel as though they are part of the landscape by opening the house to the garden. Stone floors and expansive windows dissolve the separation between interior and exterior. Previously winding interior corridors have become extended views through the house and key to linking older portions of the New England Victorian to the renovated areas.

Interior design is a collaboration of OPRCH and Sashya Thind.
