Sackett Hill House

Sackett Hill House is a 3,100-square-foot residence in Warren, Connecticut, designed by Deborah Berke & Partners in 2020. The house is sited on historic farmland surrounded by native meadows and woodland, with the brief emphasizing sustainability and a modern architectural approach. The design responds to the rural context and the presence of old stone walls and a sloping, wooded hillside, while targeting net zero readiness. The house is composed of two long, simple volumes joined in an L-shape. All living spaces, including four bedrooms, a library, home office, kitchen, screen porch, and a large open living area, are arranged on a single level. The public and private zones occupy separate wings. The exterior is clad in blackened wood siding, chosen to recede visually into the tree line and landscape. Expanses of glass create visual and physical connections to the surrounding meadow and distant mountains. Interiors feature polished concrete floors and pale wood paneling, providing warmth and a subtle level of contrast within the rigorously modern composition.
