Impressive Spence House by Metcalfe Architecture
This beautiful home by Philly-based architecture firm Metcalfe Architecture is designed as a sequence of spaces that provide intimate and expansive indoor and outdoor views for the owner’s daily movements from garage to interior and outdoor spaces.
Soaring ceilings, sustainable materials and bursts of interior color make this a simple and comfortable home in the woods. The exterior design is normal, well balanced, allowing a perfect integration of the building within nature. As looked from the front side, the house appears to be solid, a perfect family home, offering stability, peace and relaxation within the forest. A large terrace placed at the first floor takes over the exterior sun light, warming the interior space, the light penetrating through the large windows upstairs. The building consists of different cubes of space, delineating different family spaces with different utilities.
There is a large and bright living space, very nice and elegant equipped, with modern design and furniture, wooden ceiling and ample windows, which is prolonged with the kitchen space. The colors are bright and full of joy, the spaces ample but intimate and the whole house breathes light, elegance and intimacy. It is a warm place designed for happy families and pleasant memories.
