The Delisle House  

The new home is located in a small community in the southern section of Glastonbury. The design focus of the new home was to take advantage of the natural attributes of the building site.

The living areas of the home are comprised of a total of 6,682 square feet, divided into three floors allowing for a stepping of the structure as it steps down the natural patterns of the earth's contours.

The home is in an "L" shape with all main rooms located on the western side of the home to allow for maximum view of Hartford's distant skyline. The "L" also created a protective pocket for the in-ground pool located on the south side of the property.

The lower level floor with its western side walkout, functions as a separate living area for the extended family.

The general exterior aesthetics of the home are rooted to two geographic architectural characteristics. The first being a Colorado style lodge with its exposed gable beams and its souring gables. The second architectural characteristic being a New England style home with its high pitched roofs and its overlapping compact massing, shingles, and wide board trim. Exposed oak roof trusses flank the great room fieldstone fireplace creating a sense of a Colorado style wood-limber frame interior. The two and a half story foyer has a direct connection of the rear yard and pool via the centering of the large front and rear doors. The axis is also mimicked by the second floor windows and geometric shaped stairs.
