Situated on the edge of a protected wetlands area, the New Canaan Retreat offers a flexible and multi-purpose space for a landscape architect and her family. As an office, poolhouse, studio, or space for entertaining, the modular home offers oblique views up and down the wetland valley. Designed to integrate within the mid-century modernist elements throughout the landscape and home, the retreat's large sliding glass doors are centered on the pool and the whole unit cantilevered over stone retaining walls that terrace down through the valley.
