Hampshire ResidenceThis home is designed for a secluded and picturesque eight acre site in rural Illinois. The open "L" shaped plan is oriented toward the one acre pond allowing every room in the house to have a direct view. Large sliding glass doors and a four season porch blend the living spaces with the outside and further connect it to the site. The only room on the second floor provides the family with a multi-purpose ?sky room?. The home integrates many sustainable technologies including photovoltaic panels, rain capture and a geothermal system.
