The rear elevation wraps around a private minimalist courtyard, blending New England forms with Zen-inspired landscaping. Expansive glazing connects the double-height interior directly to the outdoor deck, creating a seamless flow for indoor-outdoor living.

Framed by the residence’s U-shaped massing, this intimate courtyard features a Zen-inspired dry garden. Warm wood decking provides integrated seating, while extensive glazing ensures the tranquil outdoor view becomes a focal point from within the home.

The expansive rear lawn frames the home's elegant light brick façade and raised terrace. Large, strategically placed windows maximize natural light and views of the mature treeline, creating a seamless connection between the interior living spaces and the landscape.
