Clients with a mountaintop homesite in Central Pennsylvania turned to architect James McDonald to design a dream home for them that would capture picturesque views from every direction. “Siting the home proved the biggest challenge,” recounts McDonald of the process. “We decided to let morning light flood the family room and kitchen while the dining room captures the sunset. This layout ensures that light reaches the main living spaces no matter the time of day.”
The farmhouse-style residence boasts livable interiors with seamless connectivity to the outdoors. The owners’ suite and open-plan living spaces open out to a shared porch. Soaring, 13-foot ceilings in the family room combine with high windows flanking a stone fireplace to create a dynamic space where the family love to gather.
