A family estate on 30 exquisite acres of pastoral farmland in Greenwich, CT.
This modern estate, envisioned as a sanctuary for a young and growing family, unites sustainable design with architectural elegance. The property comprises a 12,000-square-foot main home and a 2,500-square-foot guest house, both carefully sited to complement the natural rhythm of the equestrian surroundings. At its heart is a dramatic, two-and-a-half-story space featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that emphasize a profound connection to the outdoors through uninterrupted pastoral views.
And why do we use it?
Crafted for connection and built to endure
A strong connection between indoors and out defines this build. A dramatic steel staircase, catwalk, and floating chimney extend the home's exterior material language into its interior. Thirty geothermal wells drilled 300 feet deep provide radiant heating and cooling throughout the property, underscoring the project's sustainable approach. Even the sunken clay tennis court has been crafted with redundancy in mind - it's been built with ICF retaining walls and footings for easily adaptable future use.
An incredible space is taking shape
The home’s main entertaining space opens entirely to its surroundings, with vast triple-paned glass and expressed steelwork blurring the line between indoors and out. At its heart, the floating steel chimney rises above what will be a truly spectacular fireplace: a boulder quarried from the site itself, carved into a giant burner that is part sculpture, part hearth - an elemental centerpiece that really grounds the space. Integrated audio will complete the experience, immersing the homeowners and their guests in both sound and setting.
Our commitment to effortless efficiency
Standing 13 feet tall, the huge triple-pane Cortizo doors imported and installed at the Equestrian Estate create an effortless threshold to the outdoors. Two operable panels flank a fixed central unit, each moving smoothly on precisely engineered concealed hardware. A flush floor transition is already in place, while a seamless stucco return will deliver a refined architectural finish that complements the home’s exterior. It’s an opening that feels totally fluid yet performs to exceptional energy standards.
