New Canaan Residence
Specht Harpman — New Canaan, CT
New Canaan Residence is a single-family house in New Canaan, Connecticut, completed by Specht Harpman in 2010. The site is defined by its surrounding old-growth trees, prompting a design that engages directly with the wooded landscape. The approach to the house is organized along deliberate and understated pathways, guiding movement toward a pronounced glass entry. The house functions as a pavilion, with substantial glazing that creates the sense of an elevated structure within the tree canopy. Architectural lines throughout the main house and its associated pool area reference the forms and principles of mid-century modernism. A separate cabana extends the program into the landscaped grounds, reinforcing the visual geometry and spatial clarity that underpin the design.
