The serious, symmetrical exterior of this stucco house in Chadds Ford, PA belies the unexpected, lively color palette that awaits within. Heavily influenced by the client, a fashion insider and her family, the use of colors – such as coral pink in the living room and green in the library – give the restrained architecture a quiet jolt. Courtyards and wings frame gardens and outdoor spaces allowing the house to sit comfortably on its sloping site. Surprises abound, whether it’s a hidden garden outside or a vibrant room down the hall.
