The imaginative redesign of this freestanding cottage takes inspiration from its surrounds with a dramatic sense of space and windows framing a sequence of leafy vistas. One of a few homes in a whisper-quiet enclave, this designer haven is crowned with a sanctuary-like parent's retreat and opens to a lush garden.
