The owners engaged architect Gregory Snider to create one of the finest homes in Rhode Island. The design started from the inside out. This Shingle/Arts & Crafts style home – with red shingles and Pennsylvania blue fieldstone base – perfectly blends with the surroundings. Some of the key elements are its natural materials, wood and stone; built in furniture and cabinets, allowing furnishings to be a part of the architecture; grand fireplaces as symbols of family; porches with thick round columns; low pitched roofs with wide eaves; exposed beams and an open floor plan.
