Jewel Box | The addition, featuring 12-foot windows, links the existing stone house to a wood-paneled garage. Hinging the connection is a massive stone fireplace that creates a material link between the old and the new, inside and out.
Outside the Box | The addition nestles into the side of the existing structure, its bright, smooth wood popping out of the landscape to provide a visual counterpoint to the tactile gray of the original buildings.
Kitchen Magic | Anthracite kitchen counters now face into the soaring addition, while a steel and Tyvek chandelier (found through the couple’s interior designer, Christopher Coleman) turns the space into a glittering jewel at night.
Outside In | Twelve-foot doors slip into the existing windowed façade and open out onto the terrace. A mahogany ceiling provides a luxuriously rich material counterpoint to the sandblasted Pompeii floor.
Bridging Time | A corridor connects the kitchen to the original dining area, while a wall of glass cabinetry picks up the patterns of the addition’s exterior glazing. Contemporary details and white-oak flooring combine to create a 21st-century link to a 20th-century dining room.
Delightful Dining | A traditional aesthetic dominates in the dining room, where detail and color—in the form of ceiling moldings, wallpaper and a luxurious carpet—abound.
Open Door Policy | Shades of the contemporary enter the existing living space with an updated red paint job and a prominently lit piece of modern art, while a richly woven carpet and upholstered chairs operate as a reminder of the strong history of the house.
