Project Description
This c. 1900 Arts and Crafts home was beloved by the Owners but was under-built and didn’t meet the Owner’s modern needs. The project essentially re-built the original house with material upgrades and a focused reorganization of interior spaces to achieve something new that feels like it’s “always been there.” Originally constructed as two buildings with an awkward connection between them, the new design retains the linked form, basic footprint, and feel of the original house while creating expansive new spaces more open to each other on the interior. Changes include a new 2-story living room under a west facing gable, a south-facing screened porch that expands the dining room, upper-level two-bedroom suites with shared baths, and new second floor bedroom and lower level walk-out space above and below an early service wing of the building. Also re-constructed were the shop and garage, the boathouse, and a tiny painting studio.
