Best of the Week

This week we are looking north in honor of our executive assistant, Rebecca, who is getting married next weekend in upstate New York. We aren’t taking you all the way to the Adirondacks, but these homes will make you feel one with nature.

Some of the most unique architecture is inspired by natural landscapes and organic features. Reach out to us and tell us your favorite elements inspired by the world around us!

As always enjoy our picks and have a wonderful weekend.
