This 5,500 sq.ft. four bedroom, 3
½ bath single family residence is an exterior and
interior renovation and rejuvenation of a once
working farm house. The project also included the
addition of a new front porch and generous rear
deck.
The existing home had seen
numerous patchwork remodels and poorly conceived
additions prior to this most current design
renovation. Much of the design task then was to
remove the compiled and incoherent previous work and
replace it with a cohesive design that brings
clarity and function to the fore. The projects
goals were largely met by unifying the shapes and
honesty of a once working barn structure with a
contemporary need for livability, efficiency, and
building safety.
The exterior scope of the project
included stone landscape walls, hardwood decks, new
roofing and window arrangements, a re-clad silo, and
a reconfigured parking plan. The interior design
renovations included a full bathroom gut and rehab
as well as a stair re-design and a new breakfast
room located inside the once functioning silo.
These changes along with the design goal of making
it a place that looks and feels like a single idea,
makes this historic structure a truly unique
home.
