Modern Custom Home in Westport, Connecticut
This modern custom home in Westport, Connecticut was designed by Tanner White Architects as a contemporary interpretation of the classic New England ranch house. The residence combines clean modern lines with natural materials, creating a warm, refined home that fits seamlessly into the coastal Connecticut landscape.
The exterior features natural cedar siding, steep gabled roof forms, and large expanses of glass that bring natural light deep into the interior. A composition of intersecting volumes gives the house a modern architectural presence while maintaining the scale and proportions of traditional Westport homes.
At the center of the design is a glass-filled entry pavilion that connects multiple wings of the house, creating a balanced layout with strong indoor-outdoor relationships. Large sliding doors open to the landscape, allowing the home to feel connected to the surrounding lawn, gardens, and wooded property.
The garage wing is integrated into the architecture with horizontal wood screening, maintaining the clean modern aesthetic while providing privacy and solar control. Upper-level living spaces feature oversized windows and elevated views of the property, reinforcing the home’s connection to nature.
Designed as a luxury custom residence, the home emphasizes natural materials, modern detailing, and timeless proportions. The result is a sophisticated yet comfortable family home that reflects the character of Westport while embracing modern architectural design.
