SCARSDALE Built as peaceful, energy efficient, and light filled, this home faces
a stretch of wooded land beside a noisy parkway. The family likes to keep the windows open, so the design team kept the living spaces at the back of the home and allowed the southern sun shining on the front of the house to flow all the way through to the back. White stucco brise soleil surrounds large window arrays on the front façade. The stucco surfaces reflect and diffuse the light, pushing a soft, even glow through the home. The brise soleil on the front façade forms two outside bays of inverted L shapes. To physically and visually support the horizontal por- tions, the center bay is flanked in vertical stone masses. The stone appears again on the back façade and on elements that penetrate the interior from the exterior.
