Forget bricks and stucco! Let's go for an aluminum exterior! Dutchess House No. 1 (designed by Grzywinski+Pons) in Millerton, New York is so eye-catching with it's aluminum cladding, wooden panels and yellow doors. I really love the yellow doors! The interior is very simple and charming. And nature abounds just outside every door and window.
