Publisher Description
field's edge When it comes to architectural richness, not many places can top the Berkshire Mountain region in western Massachusetts. The area boasts great depth in its collection of 18th- and 19th-century farmhouses and agricultural buildings, in addition to some well-preserved Shaker-built structures. Architect Andy Burr, FAIA, drew from all three traditions when designing this modern-day farmhouse in Alford, Mass. "We don't want to be slavishly traditional, but a lot of clients come to us and want something that fits in with the vernacular of the area," he says. "We try to get a little inventive while still using that local language."
