MODERN WOODS

On six acres in Lincoln, MA, between the Walter Gropius house and the DeCordova Museum of contemporary art, this residence for a young family certifies a passion for Modern architecture.  The pastoral setting offers transparent views through the house from a forested landscape to the south to a gently rising meadow on the north.  A gigantic boulder marks the point of entrance and connects to the house across a reflecting pool.  Family, dining, kitchen, study and living rooms all open onto a curved patio that reaches up and out to a screened porch.
