MR. & MRS. ROBERT HART RESIDENCE

"Well building hath three conditions: Commodity,

Firmness, and Delight." - Sir Henry Wotton

The Hart residence was conceived and designed, with

essentially the same three conditions, updated

somewhat to the 21st century and applied specifically

to the Owners' wants and necessities.

COMMODITY: The use and purpose of the home

(its 'commodity') is to be a gathering place for the far

flung family and close friends. First and foremost, they

wanted their home to be family and guest friendly.

FIRMNESS: The second objective ('firmness') was not just

quality construction and a lasting structure. They set out

to build a sustainable house that was environmentally

friendly in all respects.

DELIGHT: While they were very clear about the purpose

and use of the house, and about the way they wanted

the house to fit into and affect the environment, they

were equally committed to the goal of building a

beautiful home and garden designed and executed
