NEW HOMES
MODERN BARN HOME
Sherman, CT
This custom 10,000 sq. ft. home sits on a picturesque 25-acre property in the hills of Northwest Connecticut, overlooking rolling lawns and three connected ponds.
Constructed with a steel frame clad in timber, the home's post-and-beam design is showcased throughout. The exterior features a fieldstone base, reclaimed siding from old tobacco barns, wood windows and doors with black metal cladding, slate and standing seam roofs with cupolas, and generous stone patios and porches.
Interior materials include plaster walls, a mix of reclaimed wood, plaster, and tin ceilings, and varied flooring—wide-plank wood, custom parquet, and stone. High 11-foot ceilings on the main floor and cathedral ceilings in the entry and upstairs rooms create an open, airy feel.
Custom built-ins appear throughout, and the large kitchen serves as a central gathering space. A second-floor multi-use room sits above the garage wing, accessible from the home or via a dramatic spiral stair inside a stone silo.
State-of-the-art lighting, climate control, and sound systems are integrated throughout. The interior design and artwork were curated by the homeowner.
Covered patios and an upstairs porch extend living spaces outdoors, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

ROWAYTON GAMBREL
Rowayton, CT
This home for a young family in the seaside village of Rowayton, CT entailed demolishing the existing house down to the first floor and then designing a new home outward and upward to create a modern interpretation of the gambrel-roofed coastal style. The interiors feature an open floor plan for living and entertainment.

ADIRONDACK MOUNTAIN HOUSE
Keene Valley, NY
This custom-designed home is the centerpiece of an Adirondack ‘great camp’ for a multi-generational family. The steep roofs with interior timber trusses and bracketed overhangs, diamond windows, gracious proportions and shingled roof & exteriors are respectful of the traditions of old Adirondack cottages. The house is set on a mountaintop, centered on a distant mountain peak and takes advantage of the prevailing sun and wind directions.

CONNECTICUT COLONIAL
Darien, CT
This custom-designed 11,500 square foot 8-Bedroom home was designed for an extended family and features a classic front façade but the rear of the home informally opens-up to porches, lawns, gardens and pool. Despite the largeness of the home, the design was orchestrated in a manner that creates a cozy feeling where great public gathering spaces coexist with private bedroom suites and the connections between indoor & outdoor happen naturally.

CONTEMPORARY FARMHOUSE
Darien, CT
A detailed project cost analysis early in the planning process determined that building a new house would cost the same or less than extensively adding to and renovating the existing house.
This new contemporary interpretation of a farmhouse was designed to conform the zoning conditions of the narrow site while maximizing views to the rear yard.
High ceilings and large windows and glass doors create a spacious feeling throughout the home. The open floor plan at ground level creates views throughout the house to the yard and beyond.
