The words that best describe the Bissell house are close relationship with nature, daylight, sanctuary and entertainment. The house grew over time with the expansion of the family and hence flexibility of design was a key criterion.

The focus was on use of local materials, crafts, simplicity of details and clean lines. Daylight and views of the garden are common to every living space of the Bissell House.
