Addition on the Connecticut

Our clients had a very nice three-bedroom cape house on a beautiful site on the Connecticut River, but it was not big enough to accommodate their many interests and the families of their many adult children. They were, among other things, master gardeners, avid rowers and artists. We created an addition that provided a new mudroom, laundry room, office and art studio on the ground floor and two guest bedrooms with a shared guest bathroom on the upper level. The addition was sited to capture the views down the river as well as create a southern roof exposure for a new solar array.

We developed a post and beam barn to accommodate a potting shed with a glass overhead door (that is currently home to a printing press as well), indoor and outdoor rowing scull storage, a chicken coop, vehicle parking and general storage.
