Gambrel Revamp
A 1920s Dutch Colonial / Tudor style mashup is reimagined for a family with a penchant for combining period details with modern flair.
The orthogonal volume of the addition stands as a detached extension to the original gambrel-roofed home. Situated on a private wooded lot, the addition is clad in cedar, juxtaposed with white ship-lap siding on the existing structure.
The addition and extensive interior renovations maximize usable space while keeping original trim, woodwork and built-in casework details where possible. On the main level, the entry was reworked with built-ins in the existing foyer and new garage of the addition. A new kitchen adds storage while increasing views to the exterior and adjacent dining room. Features of the upper level include a gym and office in the new square footage and an enlarged primary suite and bathrooms. On the lower-level, the owner’s woodshop was separated from a new guest suite with a private entrance and widows were added for daylight.
