The owners required a new master suite, study, back porches, pool, landscaping, and a redesign of the front entrance and stairs. They also sought a proper setting for their eclectic collection of 19th-century American furniture and decorative arts. The design intention was to blend the old with the new to create a seamless addition while updating all house features and adding interior architecture.

There is a unique brick finish – a combination of three colors of brick that had been acid-washed and grit-blasted. Matching the existing brick for the addition was extremely difficult.  A new rear porch and loggia were added to the rear façade to unify the kitchen and library wing. New millwork and plasterwork included the front portico, a new wine cellar, a paneled Library, the addition of a Jacobean plaster ceiling to the “Gibbons” Room, and decorative plaster moldings to the ceilings of the Living Room, Dining Room, and Stair Hall and complete new molding program throughout.
