WESTCHESTER This home was to be a quiet, nature-filled oasis at the bustling intersection of a highway and a busy country road. To make that possible, the home was designed in a C shape, with its longest façade placed as close as possible to the highway (perhaps counterintuitively). This allows the house to act as a sound wall, casting an acoustic shadow across a large inner courtyard with a pool, outdoor dining spaces, and sprawling lawn surrounded by evergreens. Though the structure mit- igates the sound of traffic, the proximity to the highway is celebrated inside with 40 feet of linear windows that capture the “art” of an ev- er-changing panorama of cars and lights nearby.
