Editor’s note
SOUTHCENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA
Sometimes, patience pays off.
In the case of the home featured on the cover, Zavos Architecture+Design marketing coordinator Tracey Daniel told me in December 2008 her firm was working on a project in Gettysburg that would be a good fit for the magazine. She said the home would be completed in late 2009. In September, Tracey contacted me to let me know the home was completed. And, almost a year after hearing about the project, I met Jeff and Dawn Glass and saw their new Adams County home. The home’s modern lines and barrel-vault roof stand out in a development that’s just a few miles from the Gettysburg battlefield, where Civil War monuments and historic farmhouses pepper the landscape. Turn to pages 26-33 to see their lakefront residence. Dawn Glass told me she and her husband had lived in a house on the same property for about 15 years before tearing it down it to build their dream home. They just had to be patient and wait for the right time. On pages 18-21, you’ll see the results of a similar long-term plan by a York County couple who turned the basement of their home of seven years into a joint sports-memorabilia and family room with the help of Red Oak Remodeling in Windsor Township. In another York County home, Rich and Marci Biscoe personalized their new space with the help of a designer from Interiors in Lancaster. The trick for them was to make their home beautiful and kid-friendly. See what happened on pages 6-11.

CONTEMPORARY APPEAL By KARA EBERLE for Spaces

The cutouts in the curved wall of Dawn Glass’ home office allow her to get work done while still keeping an eye on her two boys playing in the great room. 26

The back deck of the Adams County home is a combination deck, picnic area and screenedin porch, which overlooks the lake at the center of Lake Heritage in Mount Joy Township.

The body of water at the center of Lake Heritage in Adams County is also the focal point of Jeff and Dawn Glass’ new home.
The lake can be seen from almost every room in the house — the master bedroom,
the great room, the kitchen, the dining room and the shower of the master bathroom.
Two tiers of windows make up the rear wall of the home, framing the view.
On the inside, the home’s open floor plan allows the Glasses to entertain guests in
the kitchen while keeping an eye on their children in the living room.
Creating such a layout for the 8,000-square-foot home in Mount Joy Township was
Dawn Glass likes to entertain while cooking. The kitchen includes two full work stations — two sinks, two dishwashers and two ovens — so Dawn and a friend can cook or bake at the same time.
Jeff and Dawn Glass love to entertain and have a close-knit group of 10 friends who congregate at their house often. To make sure everyone is comfortable, the entire house, including the kitchen, is built to accommodate those friends and the Glass’ two children.

‘We went all out in the kitchen because this is where we live.’ — Dawn Glass, homeowner
a challenge for the team from Zavos Architecture + Design. But after hours of brainstorming, project manager and interior designer Hannah Weikel worked out a plan that gave the Glasses everything they wanted.
Dawn Glass jokes that her home
doesn’t really fit in with the more traditional homes in the development, with its barrel-vault roof and contemporary lines, but it’s what she always wanted.
However, style wasn’t her only
concern. Safety and practicality also played a part in the home’s design.
Dawn wanted the master bedroom
on the first floor, so she and Jeff won’t have to worry about walking up stairs in their golden years. She also wanted the laundry room to be next to her bedroom to make the chore of laundry more convenient.
One of the safety measures included
in the plan was a security system, which does more than keep the home safe from intruders. Dawn Glass wanted a system that would alert her if a door opens so she always knows that her boys — Evan, 4, and Maddox, 2 — are safe inside the house and not headed toward the lake, one of her worries about living so close to the water.

Dawn, who teaches dance at Oxford
School of Performing Arts in New Oxford, Adams County, sometimes works from home, so she included an office in the plans. And, although she wanted to be able to work in peace, she didn’t like the idea of being shut away from her children. So she had cut outs made in the curved wall facing the great room, which gives her some privacy as well as a view of the boys playing. Dawn said that during construction, she sat in her desk chair and had the workers adjust the measurement for the shapes based on her eye level.
Some of the home’s luxuries include
an expansive kitchen, a spa-like master bathroom and walk-in closets. The living room features a wall of windows, which are wired with electronic screens to moderate the glare on sunny days.
The most dramatic feature is the float-
ing maple staircase designed and built by
Dawn admits that she’s ‘breaking the rules’ by putting the television in front of the wall of windows, but she wanted the couch to face the lake so she could watch TV and enjoy the scenery at the same time. The family’s cat, Moe, enjoys lounging on the sectional sofa that mirrors the curves found throughout the home.

Why let spindles clutter a magnificent
view of a fabulous in-ground swimming pool surrounded by stately trees?
For Bob Brown and his wife, Susan,
the answer to that question was clear.
The couple designed a tempered
safety glass-paneled railing around a deck that overlooks the pool at their York County home.
“It will take a lot of abuse. It’s very
strong,” said Bob Brown, president of the family’s company, Brown’s Glass.

A
Although the cost of a project would

depend on the specific situation, the Browns estimate that a glass-paneled railing would cost 25 percent to 40 percent more than a “normal” railing.
Q A
Is glass paneling a “green” option?
Yes. The glass is environmentally
friendly, because it’s recyclable.
Q A
Does it require a lot of maintenance?
Thanks to the glass panels surrounding the home’s deck, the Browns have an unobstructed view of the in-ground pool at their York Township home. To learn more, visit www.brownsglass.com.
Other than the need to wipe nose
