Completed in 2026, the AIA award-winning Snowden Farms House rests quietly along a private lane in Princeton, nestled naturally into its secluded wooded surroundings. The design strikes a graceful balance between welcoming the landscape in and preserving a calm sense of retreat.

At the heart of the 3,500-square-foot home is its defining sawtooth roofline. Rather than treating sustainability as an afterthought, the angled roof was sculpted to catch the sun, powering the all-electric residence while giving the home its bold, unmistakable character.

A thoughtful twist in the architecture — rotating the second story across the first — shapes a warm, sheltered front porch and a wide rear terrace that flows effortlessly from the main living rooms. Upstairs, the offset opens onto two generous private terraces, giving every bedroom a direct doorway to the open air. Inside, sunlight filters down along a three-story glass stairwell, and high, folding ceilings create airy spaces that feel both dramatic and grounded.

Built to exceed local energy standards by nearly 10%, the house was constructed with natural, sustainable materials chosen to weather gracefully with time—ensuring that as the home settles into the forest, it only grows in warmth and character.
