Arch-Top in the Valley

With a curving roof and Craftsman-style detailing, this modern house is designed with engineered framing and an eye on expansion

A combination of modern lines and period detailing, a home in Cooperstown, New York, has a curved roof that adds a contemporary look that blends well with the surrounding hills. Inside, details such as painted paneling recall the Arts and Crafts movement. A diagram shows how the curved roof was engineered and a CAD drawing shows how the curve was calculated.
