"There's a lot of fiction in this house," architect Michael R. Davis says about an English-inspired stone country retreat that he designed in upstate New York. Davis, who "learned architecture through literature," has an abiding interest in nonprofessionally laid-out vernacular styles. Add to this project a client who is the scion of a family what owns a long-established antiques business specializing in seventeenth-, eighteenth-, nd nineteenth-century English furniture, and the result is a house right out of an old English novel.
