This stunning Belgian farmhouse design features contemporary styling by Brooks and Falotico Associates, located in the sprawling countryside of New Canaan, Connecticut. The home is nestled at the end of a cup-de-sac, a renovation project for a family of five, wishing to have large, open spaces to fulfill their living needs. The architects were met with the challenge of not being able to expand the house due to being confined with spaces issues—the homesite has restrictive wetlands on the edge of the property line. The design team instead got creative, opting to design the home vertically to fulfill the family’s needs. The result is a beautiful Belgian brick clad exterior featuring shingles in gray tones with expansive glass to bring in natural light and blur the lines between indoors and out.
