# The Metropolitan

[*  *Back to Acorn Deck House Company Blog](https://blog.deckhouse.com)

### From Architectural Design to Stunning Reality:

Our in-house team of architects, panelizers, and fabricators guided each inch of our custom prefabrication process, from design to delivering a stunning final build.

   Street Side

This modern urban home is situated on a tight, sloping lot just outside Boston, & features earth tone palettes of low maintenance natural and composite materials.

The refined street facing side of the house, while modern, still respects the modest aesthetic of the suburban neighborhood.

- ![Acorn-Deck-House-Metropolitan-12](https://blog.deckhouse.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Acorn-Deck-House-Metropolitan-12.jpg?width=2000&height=1333&name=Acorn-Deck-House-Metropolitan-12.jpg)
  
   Final Build

The expressive backyard side features a large roof deck accessing a “widow’s walk” with views of the Boston skyline.

   Light-Filled Kitchen

   Sheltered Patio

 

The living room has vaulted ceilings that transition to a flat ceiling over the large kitchen, separated by a “light scoop” into a sunroom with walls of glass. The large windows and fireplace are placed for privacy from neighbors, while maintaining tailored views with lots of natural light.

Outside, the patio & backyard feature meticulously landscaped grounds, serving as a sheltered haven of peace from bustling city life.

This flexible and adaptable house uses on-site renewable energy and a tight envelope to achieve Net-Zero environmental ratings, while the connected yet separate rooms are unique inside and out.
