New Construction
Built for a large family, this timber style home centers around a two-story great room designed for connection. A vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, second-floor loft, and two-story brick fireplace come together to create a welcoming hub for everyday living and special gatherings alike.
Outdoor living was just as important as the interior design, both to honor the homeowners’ vision and to complement the rolling hills of its rural New Glarus setting. A wraparound, covered timber-frame front porch sets the tone, followed by a screened-in back porch with a fireplace and warming lamps, and a private deck with a pergola adjacent to the primary suite.
A first-floor guest suite was designed to double as a primary suite to support aging in place. The second floor includes the primary suite, loft and bonus room. The lower level includes three additional bedrooms, a full bath, a recreation room with walkout access to the backyard, and space for a future bar.
