They did love one oversized living room window and the long wall alongside, which would allow for easy decorating, had to stay. It took longer to rebuild and it was hard to do. Patty said that their architect did manage to give them everything they wanted, but, because it was their first building experience, the Garsts couldn't imagine how the project would turn out. As green as they were, however, they had very specific tastes. Even though they left little of the design from the original house, they did incorporate the high window concept along the top of the living room walls to let even more light into that room.
Light also enters the room from the skylights and from the family room on the other side.
I wanted everything light. Bright, open and efficient for their lifestyle is exactly what the Garsts got. A large sunlit kitchen opens to an eating area and family room beyond. Floor to ceiling windows promise that nothing will go on outside that the Garsts can't see. Doors open to an attractive yet functional deck.
