Two Story House

The two-storey family house: stacked gables with a cross-gable over the entry, shuttered windows on both floors sitting dead on the same grid the floor band and the sills run on, a brick chimney up the flank and a bay of glazing downstairs. At night the living room and one bedroom burn warm, another bedroom is dark, and one window flickers television blue behind the curtain — the signature suburban-evening beat.
