The beautiful, old barn on this Topsfield estate was at risk of being demolished. Before approaching Mathew Cummings, the homeowner had met with several architects about the structure, and they had all told her that it needed to be torn down. Thankfully, for the sake of the barn and the owner, Cummings Architects has a long and distinguished history of preserving some of the oldest timber framed homes and barns in the U.S. Once the homeowner realized that the barn was not only salvageable, but could be transformed into a new living space that was as utilitarian as it was stunning, the design ideas began flowing fast. In the end, the design came together in a way that met all the family’s needs with all the warmth and style you’d expect in such a venerable, old building. On the ground level of this 200-year old structure, a garage offers ample room for three cars, including one loaded up with kids and groceries. Just off the garage is the mudroom – a large but quaint space with an exposed wood ceiling, custom-built seat with period detailing, and a powder room. The vanity in the powder room features a vanity that was built using salvaged wood and reclaimed bluestone sourced right on the property. Original, exposed timbers frame an expansive, two-story family room that leads, through classic French doors, to a new deck adjacent to the large, open backyard. On the second floor, salvaged barn doors lead to the master suite which features a bright bedroom and bath as well as a custom walk-in closet with his and hers areas separated by a black walnut island. In the master bath, hand-beaded boards surround a claw-foot tub, the perfect place to relax after a long day. In addition, the newly restored and renovated barn features a mid-level exercise studio and a children’s playroom that connects to the main house. From a derelict relic that was slated for demolition to a warmly inviting and beautifully utilitarian living space, this barn has undergone an almost magical transformation to become a beautiful addition and asset to this stately home.

Neubau / Eingangsbau / Garage / Doppelgarage / PROJEKT M.S.M.R. Der Wunsch des Auftraggebers war, die vorhandene Planung einer herkömmlichen Standard-Doppelgarage für ein traditionelles Wohnhaus im oberbayerischen Stil architektonisch anspruchsvoll zu überarbeiten. Entstanden ist ein Multifunktionsbau, welcher durch zeitgenössische Architektur einen repräsentativen Eingangsbereich mit Doppelgarage, Gartenschuppen und dem bestehenden, traditionellen Wohnhaus verbindet. Das am Wohnhaus seinerzeit sichtbar verwendete Holz für Fenster, Fensterläden und Fassadenverschalung wurde für den Eingangsbau sowohl für die Konstruktion, als auch für die Fassade verwendet und verbindet somit „Bestehendes“ mit „Neuem“. Der neue Eingangsbau friedet das Grundstück Richtung Siedlungsstraße ein. So entsteht ein intimer Gartenbereich, was einen zusätzlichen enormen Mehrwert für die Bewohner darstellt.

New 2-story residence consisting of; kitchen, breakfast room, laundry room, butler’s pantry, wine room, living room, dining room, study, 4 guest bedroom and master suite. Exquisite custom fabricated, sequenced and book-matched marble, granite and onyx, walnut wood flooring with stone cabochons, bronze frame exterior doors to the water view, custom interior woodwork and cabinetry, mahogany windows and exterior doors, teak shutters, custom carved and stenciled exterior wood ceilings, custom fabricated plaster molding trim and groin vaults.

This derelict corn mill was transformed into a modern family home by opening up the interior rooms and installing large glazing systems to brighten up these spaces. Mondrian® steel doors to the entrance of the home were manufactured from galvanised steel which allowed light to flood into the newly renovated open plan interior design.
