Letting The House Show Off Its Style

The 1830’s carriage house and an adjoining barn were completely disassembled to reclaim almost all the materials for this total renovation. Reusing the materials allowed us to keep the period feel of the home, while updating it for comfort and practical living.

The original wide cut boards were uncovered from behind plaster walls in the kitchen and dining area. The beams that we exposed were hand hewn, allowing for a remarkably unique character.

Insulation was added to the exterior walls to maintain the authentic appearance of the old frame, while adding comfort, reducing heating costs, and preventing mold.

We added radiant heat throughout the house, and returned the staircase to its original location along the living room area.

Upstairs, a timber frame master bath addition was mated to the existing main bedroom, complete with shower and clawfoot bathtub built into the eaves. We used this opportunity to feature the unusual roof lines with multiple dormers and create a truly unique interior space.

A butler’s pantry and mudroom were built off the kitchen area. We created custom cabinetry for the kitchen and bathrooms, as well as numerous bookshelves, from the reclaimed lumber. A custom trestle dining table was also built for the client.

We added a sunroom with a wood stove to the repurposed porch area, and clad it with fish scale siding for a distinctive look.
