Western Massachusetts is the setting for this design/build by Tsao & McKown Architects. And it’s all about the view. The 7,000-square-foot house lies on 20 acres, so the floor plan maximizes what can be seen through the windows. Inside, a palette of celadon, bone, ivory, chalk, linen, and wheat whisper differently in every season, absorbing and reflecting the greens of spring and summer or complementing the browns and grays of winter.

Industrial chairs and a substantial slab of wood table furnish the dining area, set off by the gentle, pale green walls.
