From the architect: For Toms   McNally Design, Architecture is a response to context. Millgrove House, located in rural Hamilton, sits on a property that contained an abandoned apple orchard, and a hay-growing farm for local use. Situated between mature tree lines and forests, the site is gently rolling. As a result, the design strategy was to use the topography in order to maintain a modest appearance from the street while providing a spacious home for a middle-aged couple with four adult children.

架构师：对于Toms McNally设计来说，架构是对上下文的响应。米尔格罗夫之家位于汉密尔顿农村，坐落在一处地产上，里面有一个废弃的苹果园和一个供当地使用的种植干草的农场。位于成熟的树木线和森林之间，该网站是轻轻滚动。因此，设计策略是利用地形来保持街道的适度外观，同时为一对有四个成年子女的中年夫妇提供一个宽敞的家。
