Elevating the clients’ ask, a solution was proposed that would save the original residence from demolition. By repurposing it as a combination carriage house and guest house, the structure could be rethought as a valuable element of a new overall program, all while respecting history.

Adjacent to the carriage house and motor court lies a new Greek Revival farmhouse in classic New England vernacular. Thanks to the gatehouse, a true sense of history is implied even though the entire residence is new. Designed to seem as though it was a main structure added onto over time, the interiors are replete with amenities for seamless modern-day living.
