Description

Every once in a rare while, a home is so well designed, it’s breathtaking. Each step connects the past & the present, the outdoors & the in. Cogswell designed this 2173 SF home for Martin & Musia Lakin, giving thought to how the home sits on its ample 3/4-acre lot & how the home is lived in. Every feature is integrated—the vaulted wood-clad ceilings fly from the inside out across the eaves, clerestory windows cast even daylight, floorplan is smart incl. work-live spaces, plus everywhere you look:...Every once in a rare while, a home is so well designed, it’s breathtaking.
