Noyes moved his family to New Canaan in the mid-40s. He designed Noyes House II with the intention of expanding his family while expressing his design ideals. With a wing dedicated to bedrooms and rest and a parallel wing designated for gathering, the house is brought together by an open-air courtyard that gracefully unites the two separate functions.
