Architect John Tittmann took one look around Concord and went straight for Greek Revival when he was asked to design a house on a 2-plus acre site. “The client wanted a house that is appropriate to the neighborhood,” explains Tittmann of the site context; “although Greek Revival is not the only style in town, it is the flavor that we selected to emphasize.” A 1960s midcentury modern split level existed on the site, but as Tittmann notes, “it was at the end of its lifespan.” The nearby Trinitarian Congregational Church, the houses at Concord Academy, and the town’s prevailing residential architecture prompted the decision, but there was another reason why the team at ART Architects and the homeowners hit on that style. The family expressed a desire to embrace nature and the outdoors, and generous windows are a hallmark of Greek Revival. But Tittmann and project architect Lyle Bradley of ART Architects went many steps further, creating two inner wings viewing a garden courtyard. “The house looks out on a naturalistic vista,” says Bradley, “and the living space takes advantage of the view.” Making that happen took insight to present an outlook.
